HIS NICKNAME WAS PAUL THE OCTOPUS

Remember Paul the Octopus, surprise star of the 2010 World Cup finals?


Well, Pogba was nicknamed that – or ‘IL Polpo Paul’ in Italian – not because of his ability to successfully predict the results of football matches, but because of his long gangly legs.

2. HIS TWO BROTHERS ARE FOOTBALLERS – AND PLAY FOR GUINEA
