Sparta Rotterdam skipper Breuer welcomes Mathais Pogba: Now for Man Utd tickets!

Sparta Rotterdam skipper Michel Breuer thought they were signing Manchester United star Paul Pogba this week!

The Frenchman's older brother, Mathais, who looks just like his sibling, has just signed for Sparta.

"Let's be honest: if you see the name, you think of him (Paul) immediately," said Breuer. "He's so often been in the news in recent months.

"To be honest, I do not know him yet as a footballer. But I've learned that he's a big, strong boy who can work well at the point of attack."

Breuer also hopes for some perks by getting to know the Pogba family.

He added: "Of course we'll go to a match of Manchester United!

"Maybe if they play against Feyenoord in the Europa League. That would be fun. Otherwise, we can always go to Barcelona. There, our assistant coach Michael Reiziger still has some connections."
