I grew up supporting Arsenal: Pogba

Paul Pogba has revealed that he was a supporter of Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal while growing up!

“I had posters of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Zidane, Thierry Henry, Djibril Cisse, Kaka.

“Yeah, so I will be honest I was an Arsenal fan, obviously because of all the French players. My other brother was a Man Utd fan and couldn’t say anything.

“I used to really love Thierry Henry so I would say because of him I was an Arsenal fan. Then I changed then I went to choose to stay with my other brother who was a United fan.”

It was his love for Thierry Henry that made him want to become a forward!

He added: “I started as a striker then No.10 then No.6. Thank God they didn’t make me a centre back. I wanted to touch the ball so much.

“I was a striker and I was dribbling too much. One coach told me to play No.10 so you can touch the ball more. I took still too many touches so he put me No.6.”

The World Cup winner has now gone on to become one of the best midfielders in the world but unfortunately for the Gunners, he plays for their arch-rivals Manchester United.
