Controversies	• In 2009, there was a controversy over Paul's transfer from Le Havre to Manchester United. Le Havre accused of breach of contract because he had a "non-solicited agreement" with the club until the 2009-2010 season. This agreement according to Le Havre was not only signed by the footballer but also his parents. Le Havre made all these claims on their official website. Not only this they also did a press release on the site that Manchester is taking the player by tapping him with extra money (£87,000) and a house. During this, Le Havre was accused of the same thing by Torcy for taking Paul. A judge appointed by FIFA cleared MU of all the accusations and allowed for Paul to join the MU team. Instead of appealing to the court, Le Havre and Manchester United reached an agreement, terms undisclosed.

Life Journey

Paul Pogba was born on March 15, 1993, in Lagny-sur-Marne, France, to Fassou Antoine and Yeo Moriba. Originally from Conakry, Guinea, his parents were Muslims and lived there before Paul was born. They moved to France for a better life and a more fulfilling existence after being tired of poverty. The family that he came from was one of the thousands of refugees from Africa who moved to Europe during the early 1990s refugee crisis.

Both of his brothers lived in Guinea for the first few years after they moved to France with their parents. The family eventually accepted them. Paul’s father was a distant man who did not provide his son with much attention. Paul discovered his passion for football during his school days and decided to pursue a career in the sport. Among the three brothers, their mother supported their addiction to the game.
