Paul Pogba, a former star player for Manchester United, declared he was done playing football and had no intention of playing again.
This declaration is made as Pogba, who failed a drug test, is facing a four-year suspension from all football-related activity.
It won't be possible for the Juventus midfielder to play professionally until 2027, when he would be over 34 years old.
The football community and supporters have been taken aback by Pogba's latest comments.

He said, "I'm over, I'm dead, Paul Pogba doesn't exist anymore," during a recent interview. His decision to retire from football after his doping ban is shown by this comment.
Pogba had a prosperous career, particularly at Juventus prior to his well-publicized transfer to Manchester United in 2016.
Before joining Juventus again on a free transfer, he played for Old Trafford for seven years. Pogba was also a key member of the French national squad, which won the 2018 FIFA World Cup thanks to him.
Fans on social media have been talking a lot about Pogba's retirement since learning about it.

Paul Pogba, a midfielder for Manchester United and the French national team, has revealed his deep inner agony in a moving and contemplative video that has been circulated on social media.
The footage, which has now gone viral on several platforms, shows a clearly upset Pogba battling his inner demons.

Many of Pogba's admirers have expressed concern and conjecture over his well-being and potential comeback to the sport he loves in response to his sincere statement.
