Manchester United’s Paul Pogba made a surprise appearance at Sunday’s NFL International Series game at Wembley as he was invited on stage by Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman.

Pogba, who was joined by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, had been in the record 84,488 crowd at the stadium to watch a thrilling clash between Washington and the Cincinnati Bengals which ended in a 27-27 tie after overtime.

And the France international was brought into the post-match press conference by Washington star Norman, a Paris St Germain fan who enjoys playing with a ‘soccer’ ball as much as he does working out with a football, who thanked Pogba for his support.

Norman, wearing a Manchester United scarf, said: “As you can see, he blessed me with some Man United stuff, so I appreciate him coming out and supporting the team. That's big.

“We come over here and play, and I like to show them guys a good time. This is your first game right?”

Pogba replied: “First game. Appreciate it. I enjoyed it, good experience. Very good.”
