Paul Labile Pogba (পল পগবা) is a French professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Ligue 1 club Monaco.

Born in Lagny-sur-Marne, Pogba joined the youth team of Ligue 2 side Le Havre in 2007. He joined Manchester United two years later. After beginning his senior career in Manchester, limited appearances caused him to join Italian club Juventus on a free transfer in 2012, where he helped the club win four consecutive Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia titles, and two Supercoppa Italiana titles. During his time in Italy, Pogba further established himself as one of the most promising young players in the world and received both the Golden Boy award in 2013 and by the Bravo Award in 2014. Pogba was named in the 2015 UEFA Team of the Year and in the 2015 FIFA FIFPro World XI after helping Juventus to the 2015 Champions League final, their first final in twelve years.

Pogba was born in Lagny-sur-Marne, France, to Guinean parents. He has two older brothers who are twins – Florentin Pogba and Mathias Pogba – born in Guinea, who are also footballers and play for the Guinean national team. Florentin last played as a defender for ATK Mohun Bagan while Mathias last played as a forward for ASM Belfort. As a child, Pogba was a fan of Arsenal.

Pogba primarily plays as a central midfielder. He can also play as a deep-lying playmaker or as an attacking midfielder. Pogba was described by Manchester United as a "powerful, skilful, and creative" player who has "an eye for goal and a penchant for the spectacular." He can also play as an offensive-minded central midfielder that often drifts out wide, known as the "mezzala" role in Italy. During his time in Italy, he gained the nicknames Il Polpo Paul ("Paul the Octopus") for his long legs that look like tentacles and "Pogboom" for his explosive pace and energy on the pitch. A quick, hardworking, and physically strong player, he possesses good aerial abilities, good passing, and good vision. He is also known for his powerful and accurate shots from distance. He has often been compared with former France international Patrick Vieira in his youth. He is also known for his ability to make forward runs from deeper areas of the pitch.

During his final season with Juventus, Pogba was played as an advanced midfielder, which saw him gain more ball possession and allowed him to function as the team's main playmaker; his performances in this role saw him develop from a promising youngster into one of the best midfielders in the world. Upon Pogba's departure from Juventus in 2016, his former teammate Gianluigi Buffon compared him to former French playmakers Michel Platini and Zinedine Zidane and also praised his leadership and hard work, both on the pitch and in training, stating that he "...is a tremendous warrior on the pitch but also has so much talent. His control of the ball and the way he can swiftly change the play from defence to attack is special." Pogba is also an effective free kick and penalty taker. Despite his talent, he has been accused of being inconsistent. Moreover, he has also struggled with injuries during his time with Manchester United.

Pogba is a practicing Muslim. He has been married to Bolivian model María Zulay Salaues since 2019 and they have two children together. Pogba can speak French, English, Italian, and Spanish.

In August 2017, Pogba spoke about the possibility of openly gay footballers in the Premier League. During a UEFA respect campaign in Monaco, Pogba said that gay footballers should be considered "equal". He also stated that "what he does in his private life has nothing to do with the player ... You have just to respect him ...  We are all equal when we play football."

In March 2022, Pogba said that he had suffered from depression whilst being managed by José Mourinho at Manchester United during 2018.

Pogba has a sponsorship with sportswear company Adidas. He appeared in an Adidas 2018 World Cup commercial alongside other footballers like David Beckham, Lionel Messi, and Mohamed Salah, as well as American singer Pharrell Williams.

Appearing in EA Sports' FIFA video game series, Pogba's goal celebration, 'the Dab', was first featured in FIFA 17. Pogba, alongside his brothers Florentin and Mathias, attended the 2017 MTV Europe Music Awards in London, where Paul and English actress Natalie Dormer presented the "Best Song" award to Canadian singer Shawn Mendes.
