Four days ago, Paul Pogba was taking part in Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos’ “The Beautiful Game” charity match in Miami, Florida. In that short time, he’s now hosting one of his own in Guinea 4,700 miles away. This Pogba charity match in his parents’ home country had some other big names like Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler and singer Akon playing. Butler was also present for the Miami match.
Finding much footage of the game has been difficult, but this one clip of Pogba missing a penalty is must-watch content. Having some fun, Pogba did his slow trot up to the penalty spot only this time his "run" up took much longer.

Incredible stuff from the soon-to-no-longer-be Manchester United man.
This is the second time the French midfielder has hosted a charity game in Guinea. In 2019, Pogba and his two brothers, Florentin and Mathias who play for the Guinea national team, hosted one to raise money for clean drinking water in the country.
When he arrived in the country on Tuesday you would have thought that he was royalty. Hundreds of fans came out to get a glimpse of him.
