Sagna believes Pogba would be eager to return to Manchester United, and the club’s new manager, Ruben Amorim, might be open to the possibility.
Initially, the French World Cup winner was handed a four-year ban for testing positive for a banned substance.
However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) later reduced the suspension to 18 months, concluding that Pogba had unknowingly consumed the substance.
The 31-year-old midfielder is permitted to start training again in January and can rejoin competitive football in March.
Pogba initially returned to Manchester United in 2016 for a then-record fee of £90 million, spending six seasons at Old Trafford and helping the team secure two major trophies.
Sagna, a former France and Arsenal defender, believes Pogba would relish the opportunity to reunite with his former club, especially under the guidance of Portuguese manager Amorim. Sagna noted that Pogba has consistently expressed his fondness for Manchester United.
Speaking to Mega Dice, Sagna said: “It’s a different situation today at Manchester United to when Paul was previously there. United have a young coach, a coach that has been a player, a coach that understands the situation.
“He will probably be willing to have a player like Paul at his training sessions. Amorim was a player himself, so I’m sure the coach will be open to seeing him getting back home because he loves United.
“I have talked many times with Paul. He loves United. The only problem was the situation when he came back.
“That was a spell where things didn’t go as well as they should have done, but Paul wasn’t the only player that struggled at United during the time he was there.”
