Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has reportedly landed a role in a French film only months after being slapped with a four-year ban from professional football. The 31-year-old, who was most recently contracted to Juventus, has not made a competitive appearance since September last year.

Pogba's injury-riddled return to Juventus went from bad to worse when he tested positive for abnormal levels of testosterone after game against Udinese. The four-year ban he was subsequently hit with threatens to keep him out of the game until 2027.

By that point Pogba's top-level career may effectively be over as he will be well into his mid-thirties. The French World Cup winner has vowed to appeal the decision before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

But in the meantime, his acting career is seemingly only just getting started as reports indicate that he will play the role of a youth team football coach in a French film titled '4 Zeros'.
