His first stint with Juve was very good. Helped them win 4 consecutive league titles and 4 cups.
Most of his time back at United was mostly good. Contributed to them winning the League Cup and the Europa League. Mourinho made him a scapegoat when results were poor.
He played nearly every minute of every game for France when they won the WC.
His return to Juve has been a disaster. He got injured almost as soon as he got there and never got his body right. It was a a massive error of judgment to get on the testosterone supplements. After his ban he can begin training from January and playing from 11 March 2025. As a free agent one of the PL teams might take a chance on him for the last 10 games of the season.

When does registrations close for PL season?
Obviously he can't be registered until his ban expires in March. MLS more likely, that's the start of the season for them.

Most of the European transfer windows close on 3 February.
I think he was still registered and contracted as a Juve player even though he was banned. Now he's a free agent maybe he can register and train with another club in January.
He might do a Becks and spend time playing in Europe and the MLS. Beckham did that to retain his England place. Pogba has said he wants to play for France again.
There aren't/weren't many better midfielders to watch than Pogba when he was at the top of his game.

MLS transfer window opens early Feb, closes April.
That seems ideal for Pogba with his ban expiring in March. Japan/Korea/China also have similar schedules - they could also be options for him.
As for playing for Les Bleus again, I'd be surprised if that were to happen. Been out of the game for too long, will probably drop a level to get his career going again. Still a possibility though if he were to rediscover his form.
