“We’re massively proud of Paul being in the World Cup final,”

Didier Deschamps' France are currently preparing to face Croatia in Moscow with a place in the history books up for grabs, and Pogba is expected to start the match following a string of excellent performances in the tournament.

The 25-year-old has already spoken of his determination to lift football’s most famous trophy, particularly after he and Les Blues suffered that gutting Euro 2016 final defeat to Portugal.

If Pogba succeeds in his mission to add a second gold star to the famous France shirt – the first arrived in 1998 - then he will become the fourth United player to win the World Cup during their stay at Old Trafford, following in the footsteps of England’s 1996 heroes Sir Bobby Charlton, Nobby Stiles and John Connelly.
