Paul is the youngest of three sons, his senior brothers are twins - Florentin and Mathias. The boys were fond of football together, and their parents sent their children to the juvenile academy of football.

The father of the sons Fassou Antoine was especially delighted as he himself dreamed to become a professional football player, but his parents insisted on the classical studies and work. The man helped his sons to train, supported and prepared them morally, brought videos of the games of the famous sportsmen home. The father repeatedly told his sons that football wasn’t a game for them, but the future.

Paul turned out to be more talented than his brothers, he was noticed almost at once: already at preschool age the boy successfully scored goals, winning his senior rivals. When Pogba turned six years old he became a part of the US Roissy-en-Bri children team and in 2006 he transferred to Torcy.

Here he had played only for a year, but during this time he had proved himself as a technical and hardworking midfielder. The scouts of more eminent Le Havre team offered the young man to join their team.

As a part of Le Havre, F.C. Paul won silver medals in the France Football Youth Championship football. But Paul, of course, dreamed to become a member of the club with a world famous name. At that period of time, the young man admired the Manchester United team, but he even didn't guess that in a couple of years he would try on a bright red T-shirt.

Football

The professional sports biography of Paul Pogba began in 2009. Pogba left Le Havre F.C. with a scandal and at first, he joined the juvenile team of Manchester United, and a bit later he became a member of the second team. The sportsman had difficult relations with the head coach Alex Ferguson. The young man considered that the mentor refused to notice his talent. Though it was simple to distinguish Pogba in the field, considering his height of 191 cm. Mother of the young man told that the son often came from the training in tears.

However, in September 2011 the football appeared on the field in the primary team at the match of the English Football League against Leeds United. On the 3rd of July, 2012 the chief mentor of Manchester United announced that Paul had refused to sign the new contract with the football club. Exactly in a month, Pogba concluded the four-year agreement with Juventus F.C., becoming the player of this eminent team.

Personal life

The talented midfielder repeatedly told that his way to the world of sport wasn't simple. Paul spent so much time playing football that he hadn’t time for girls.

Paul is known for his creative hairstyles: the black short curly hair, standard for his nationality, can be seen on his photos taken in distant 2012.
