Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba attends charity match

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba attended a friendly match between Pogba's All-Stars and Guinea in France on Sunday.

The Frenchman — who wasn't included in the United squad that defeated Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday night — was present at the game alongside his brothers Florentin and Mathias.

Pogba watched his brothers from the sideline and posted pictures of the event on his Instagram page.

Pogba represents France but his brother, Florentin, formerly captained the Guinea national team hence the friendly opponent.

The game took place at Stade de la Vallée du Cher in France, the home stadium of French fifth tier side Tours FC, who Mathias plays for.

Pogba's mother, Yeo Moriba, is also an ambassador for women's football in the Guinea Football Federation.

The event was part of a charity campaign called 48 hours for Guinea to help children in the country gain access to drinking water and education. It's a cause that's said to be close to the Pogba family's hearts.

A concert also took place on Saturday evening with former Liverpool striker and now DJ Djibril Cisse performing.

The Facebook event page claims Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele, Robert Pires, Blaise Matuidi and Patrice Evra were also among those in attendance.
