MAVERICK Paul Pogba continues to enjoy his post World Cup-winning downtime – by bizarrely posing in an Argentina shirt.
Pogba starred for Les Bleus in Russia as they lifted the famous trophy but he sported different colours on holiday in LA this week, wearing Paulo Dybala’s No21 shirt.
The two midfielders became good pals when they played together at Juventus before Pogba left to rejoin Manchester United in 2016.
They experienced vastly different World Cups with Dybala making just one appearance as Argentina were dumped out in the round of 16 by eventual champions France.
Dybala didn’t even make it off the bench in that game with Pogba, who scored in the final against Croatia, perhaps wanting to help raise his friend’s profile a bit by pulling on a replica shirt.
The £89million man has been soaking up his own increased status while on holiday stateside, posing for selfies with fans and also hanging out with United team-mate Marouane Fellaini.

He is due to start an individual pre-season fitness regime ahead of rejoining his Manchester United teammates for the new season.
As well as having to hit the training hard, Pogba is also set to return to some tough love from manager Jose Mourinho who has challenged his star man to transfer his France form to club level.
The United boss told ESPN FC this week: “I don’t think it’s about us getting the best out of him, it’s about him giving the best he has to give.”
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes also weighed in this week, claiming Pogba lacked consistency in his game.
