Gabriel Martinelli has revealed meeting a "super humble" Paul Pogba while training with Manchester United.

The Arsenal teenage sensation spent time at Carrington before joining the Gunners from Ituano last summer.

"There was a project between Ituano and Manchester United, and they always took a player. And I always came for these trips," Martinelli told DAZN.

"I could neither speak English nor French, but he [Pogba] said 'tudo bem' (a common Portuguese greeting) and took the picture with me nicely, he was super humble.

"Those training days were super important for me to adapt to the style of play, the players and how fast the game is here."

He added: "I remember we played against Guarani, we won 2-1, and my agent called me. He said 'you have to decide, so what?'. Then he said it was Arsenal. Then you think, one of the best clubs in Europe. I said yes, I couldn't refuse.

"There were some approaches, but Arsenal came in strong, and I made the right choice to be here."
