Paul Pogba recently met Mike Tyson in Florida as the footballer continues to look for a new club.
And, after sharing a snap with the boxing legend on his Instagram page, the midfielder has been hit with pleading messages from fans of Brazilian side Corinthians begging for him to join.
Pogba is currently a free agent, having agreed to terminate his Juventus contract back in November.
Having had his ban for doping reduced – he has always maintained he never intentionally took a banned substance – he will be free to play football again in March.

The France international has previously had two spells at both Manchester United and Juventus.
He is currently searching for a new club, however, with Inter Miami, Corinthians, Fenerbahce, Marseille and even Fulham emerging as potential suitors.
And fans on social media have flooded Pogba’s Instagram comments section with messages pleading for him to sign for them.
Fans of Brazilian side Corinthians were particularly vocal.
One said: “Come to Corinthians to save us immediately.”
A second wrote: “Do you see what happened man, without you we lost to the s**t of Sao Paulo, come to the Corinthians soon.”
A third stated: “Go Corinthians.”
Another wrote: “Come to Corinthians, change the mentality of the players.”
A fifth messaged: “Corinthians is waiting for you.”
And a sixth fan opined: “Come to Corinthians right away for goodness sake.”
A few supporters of Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas have also pleaded with Pogba to move to them instead.
They are currently managed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who worked with the midfielder during his days in the United academy – as well as when he replaced Jose Mourinho in December 2018.
