PAUL POGBA IS currently on holiday, living it up in the United States and in the midst of a record-breaking return to Manchester United.
But thousands of miles away, his older brother Mathias is preparing for his third game of the new season.
The 25-year-old currently plies his trade with Scottish Premiership side Partick Thistle, having joined from Crawley Town last year.
Tonight, he and his team-mates are in Falkirk to take on Stenhousemuir in their League Cup clash, hoping to make it three straight wins.
The tournament has been re-formatted and now begins in the middle of the summer to give teams more competitive fixtures in the off-season.
At the weekend, Pogba was heavily involved in both goals as Thistle got the better of Queen of the South.
Born in Guinea, the attacker grew up in Paris but began his youth career with Celta Vigo in Spain. He has struggled to find a long-term home though and has turned out for six different teams over the last seven years.
His twin brother, Florentin, is a defender and has been with Saint-Etienne since 2012.

What’s with all the hate for the author? Get a life lads
Fight me
Poor article but leave the man alone, he’s just trying to put stew on the table like the rest of us
That’s rich coming from you Hightower after I seen you commenting racist jokes on an article only last night
After you saw, please spell it right John it’s my biggest peeve.
Ah shut up ya meath p***k
Anything a better than a Paul Fennessy article though.
Hate????
I can read Eoin casually enough and his articles are generally nice to read. I find the other journalists articles are often poor opinion pieces that are badly researched. I can also tell it’s his piece after a few sentences, and I don’t enjoy reading his style of writing either.
I’ve also seen him argue with posters in the comments section when they don’t agree with his piece which looks sloppy to me. He doesn’t like criticism.
Wow, ease up lads! I thought it was an interesting piece.
Its not like hes been playing there for a year now oh wait
“Footballer turns out for club” would be a better headline
‘Keyboard Warrior Who’s Never Written An Article In His Life Thinks He Can Act Hard’ would be a good one for you no?
If you’ve nothing nice to say, say nothing.
Eoin if your where any good at your job you’d know that it’s his agents greedy fee that’s holding up the transfer, not pogba, not Utd , and not Woodward .
I thought ‘mummy’ was the agent for her three boys.
I hope United pull out of this saga soon. Being held to a ransom by an agent is embarrassing for the club. And not to mention the fee for a player who clearly wants to play elsewhere. Surely there is better value in the market.
Poor
Which Guinea , there’s 3 !
