Paul Pogba waited until FULL-TIME to break Ramadan fast as Frenchman skipped food at the break before Manchester United put on a second-half masterclass in Roma thrashing

Paul Pogba was virtually unplayable as Manchester United thumped Roma, scoring and putting-in a stunning performance on Thursday – all while fasting for Ramadan.

The French World Cup winner's header put United 5-2 up in the Europa League semi-final first leg, making amends after conceding an early penalty. His brilliant technique to setup Bruno Fernandes' opener was another highlight.

During the holy month – running April 12 to May 12 – muslims like Pogba cannot eat or drink in daylight hours.
