Manchester
United star Paul Pogba is the latest sporting icon to receive the documentary
treatment, with Amazon Prime confirming that a series is on the way.
The World
Cup winner became one of the most expensive footballers in history when he
rejoined Manchester United for €105 million (£88m) in 2016, and he is one of
the most gifted midfielders of his generation.
Pogba's
personality has won him admiration and derision in equal measure, with younger
fans revelling in his stylish dance celebrations while grizzled pundits
dismissively snarl in TV studios.
His career
will now be the subject of a documentary series, and Goal brings you all the
details, including when it is released, how to watch and more.
The documentary, which has been dubbed a 'Pogmentary' by
producers, will focus on Paul Pogba, featuring his exploits on the pitch and
his life off the pitch.
Georgia Brown, who is head of European originals at Amazon
Studios, says that the documentary will provide a glimpse into the "man
behind the fame" by looking at his life away from the field of play.
"Paul Pogba is one of the most prominent talents of his
time, so we are thrilled to be collaborating with him with an overall deal and
his series 'The Pogmentary'," Brown said.
"We all know Paul for what he can do on a football
pitch, but his influence reaches much further, and he is without doubt an icon
for an entire generation. Through the unprecedented access afforded to us,
Prime Video will show the man behind the fame, delving into his life off the
pitch and letting him tell his story in his own words."
There is no shortage of material for the documentary makers to examine, with Pogba leading an eventful and successful career up to this point.You know the footballer. Discover the man.

The France international's time at Juventus, his big-money
return to Manchester United in 2016 and World Cup triumph with France in 2018
are all fertile ground for exploration. Relationships with different managers
such as Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are also
bound to come up.
The frequent volleys of criticism he is forced to endure
from high-profile pundits such as Graeme Souness and Roy Keane, as well as
fans, is also likely to be a point of discussion.
Amazon Prime's Paul Pogba documentary is slated for a UK
release in 2022. The specific date has not yet been announced.
News of the upcoming film series was publicised in April 2021, allowing a number of months for the producers to whet the appetites of football fans.
