Manchester United star Paul Pogba shares a joke with photographers outside training ground days after being caught using his phone while driving
French midfielder held up a phone hand gesture to snappers as he arrived at Carrington with a cheeky grin on his face
PAUL POBGA has shared a joke with photographers just days after being caught using his phone behind the wheel of his car.
On Friday the French midfielder, 23, held the phone in one hand while steering his £85,000 Audi RS6-R with the other.
The £89million man — the world’s most expensive player — was also snapped sipping yoghurt from a plastic bottle on another date driving outside the Carrington complex.

The idiotic stunt prompted road safety charity Brake to slam the move, saying: “It’s frustrating to see high-profile footballers think it’s OK to use a phone whilst driving.
“He should set a better example.”
However, on his way to training on Wednesday, Pogba took a cheeky swipe at the snappers outside Carrington by grinning from ear-to-ear while holding up a phone-shaped hand gesture.
The former Juventus star is clearly not worried about facing action for his multi-tasking on Friday as he smirked at the cameras.
That is despite the fact drivers caught using hand-held mobiles face six points on their licence and a £200 fine for the offence.

However, the Frenchman has shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, even scoring in United's last match - a 2-1 loss against Hull in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg as Jose Mourinho's men progressed to the final.
