The third Pogba brother stole all the attention during Manchester United’s win

Three Pogba brothers, four jerseys

Three Pogba brothers, four jerseys.

Paul Pogba played against his brother Florentin Pogba tonight, as Manchester United beat St Etienne 3-0 in the Europa League last 32 tie.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a hat-trick, and United essentially secured their place in the next round of the competition, but a lot of the attention was on the battle between the Pogba brothers.

However, when it became obvious that there wasn’t really much of a battle, and that Paul was quite a bit better than his older sibling Florentin, the television cameras scanned to the rest of the Pogba clan in the Old Trafford crowd.

Pogba’s mother was watching her sons play, and showed her support for both with a half United, half St Etienne shirt.

Paul’s older brother, and Floretin’s twin, Mathias was also in attendance.

The Sparta Rotterdam striker, who previously played for Wrexham, Partick Thistle and Crewe Alexandra, also wore a half and half shirt…

And this left many on social media baffled.

This could also show how bored people are by the Europa League, in fairness.
