Manchester United encounter with St Etienne will not be the Pogba show... it's a serious match, insists Eric Bailly

Eric Bailly insists Manchester United's Europa League clash with Saint-Etienne must now be allowed to turn into a Pogba sideshow.

United face the French side over two legs for a place in the last 16, starting with Thursday night's encounter at Old Trafford.

It has been overshadowed by a first meeting in professional football between United's world record signing Paul Pogba and his older brother Florentin.
