Pogba, as well as Old Trafford team-mate Jesse Lingard, star in the latest commercial by Adidas.
But it's Yeo Moriba who has the star turn.
Pogba is trolled on social media by a fan, taking up a challenge to meet him one-on-one.
But instead of facing the troll Pogba instead sends his mother - who exposes him as a loudmouth faker.

After sending the troll to the floor with a feint, Congolese Yeo can be seen trying - and failing - to dab.
Pogba is devoted to his mother, who brought him and his twin brothers up on her own in the tough Roissy-en-Brie banlieue outside Paris.
A devout Muslim who introduced her faith to her kids, Pogba and his brothers often refer to Yeo as 'supermum' on social media.
A former neighbour told : "Yeo wanted the very best for all of them from day one, but this was nothing to do with money.

"She absolutely adored her boys, and didn’t care who knew it.
"Day-to-day life could be a struggle, but she knew all the boys were going places."
After winning the World Cup, Pogba posted an emotional tribute to his mother on her birthday.
He posted a picture of him cuddling her after winning the Jules Rimet trophy.

"Bon anniversaire maman."
