Despite his son being too young, the French World cup winner can already see similarities between himself and his baby, hitting his fans with a phrase: ‘Like father like son’.

He recently left Manchester United faithful sweating after he made it clear of his intention to seek a new challenge elsewhere.

 'After this season and everything that happened this season, with my season being my best season as well... I think for me it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else.

'I am thinking of this: to have a new challenge somewhere else," Said Pogba.
