Paul Pogba nutmegs his own mother as Man Utd star shows 'no mercy' in lockdown

Paul Pogba isn't afraid to show off his footballing skills on Instagram as the Man Utd midfielder's mother Yeo found out to her peril on Tuesday.

During the coronavirus lockdown, the World Cup winner has kept himself entertained by showcasing his tricks and flicks online and even engaged in a skills battle with ex-Utd colleague Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Now that his war with the striker is over, it looks like the France international has turned his attentions to his own family if a post on his account on Tuesday is anything to go by.

The former Juventus man appeared to be enjoying a serene walk with his mum, before deciding he wanted to show her just how skilful he is.

With the ball at his feet, Pogba's mother attempted to try to tackle her son but to no avail as the Red Devils playmaker comfortably held on to possession.

And to make matters worse, the Frenchman rounded things out by sliding the ball through Yeo's legs before laughing after realising what he had done to his mother.

The 27-year-old appeared to rub salt into the wounds as he captioned the post: "When your mum tells you she played football before" followed by two laughing emojis.

The caption then took a rather serious turn, with the ex-Juve star ending it: "Love and spend time with your parents before they leave this world."

The clip certainly entertained sections of the internet, with many commenting underneath that the Utd star had showed his mum 'no mercy'.

Others pleaded with him to sign a new deal at Old Trafford, with the Frenchman's future with the Red Devils still very much up in the air.

Uncertainty also reigns over the remainder of the Premier League season, but it looks like Pogba will be fit for when football returns after being injured before games were suspended indefinitely.
