5 successful academy graduates from the Le Havre academy

#1 Paul Pogba

Pogba has had a tough second start to life at Manchester United

Undoubtedly the most famous graduate from the Le Havre academy is Manchester United star Paul Pogba. The Frenchman made a stunning world-record transfer to Manchester United from Juventus, but before breaking the record books, Paul Pogba’s immense skills were being honed at the Le Havre academy.

Arguably the most famous graduate from the academy, Pogba shocked the French club when he made a famous move to Manchester United’s youth academy. Le Havre were not pleased, as it allegedly had a "non-solicitation agreement" with Pogba, which was agreed to by not only the player but also his parents in 2006.

Despite the controversy, there is no denying the fact that the French side’s academy played a huge role in Pogba’s growth as a player.

Le Havre have produced some astonishing players in the recent past and top European clubs will do well to keep an eye on the excellent talent coming through this amazing academy.
