Playing against my brother was ‘something magic’ - Man Utd star Pogba

Paul Pogba admits it was a magical moment to play against his brother tonight.

The Manchester United midfielder went head-to-head with older sibling Florentin in the Europa League Round of 32 first leg against St Etienne at Old Trafford.

"Something magic," he told MUTV.

"I just couldn't believe it when I saw him. We started laughing and we said, 'just enjoy the moment'.

"It doesn't happen every day so I just enjoyed it a lot."

Regarding United's 3-0 win, Pogba highlighted the importance of getting a positive result in the home leg which is likely to make life easier in France next week.

"It's good because we wanted to win, we wanted to score goals, and we did so it will be easier for us in the next game," he added.

"But the game is not finished. We have to finish it at St Etienne."
