I’m pretty detached from it all.” The PSG forward has reportedly been in contact with Pogba and his brother, Mathias Pogba, in the past week to question why he has been named-checked in an ongoing scandal.

It is understood he got in touch with both brothers to get a better understanding of the situation. The drama comes after Mathias published a video online promising 'great revelations' about his brother, whilst Pogba says he has been threatened by an organised gang. A statement from Pogba’s lawyers, and mother Yeo Moriba, admitted that the videos are “unfortunately no surprise”, as well as the “threats and extortion attempts”.
