Paul Pogba has revealed that he looked up to David Beckham as a youngster and even wore the same boots as his former Manchester United idol.
Beckham, 42, made Adidas Predators famous in the 1990s, with thousands of children copying the free-kick specialist in donning the now-iconic footwear.
And Pogba, who is 18 years younger than Beckham, was one of those children.
