Pogba become the most expensive player in football history when he re-joined Manchester United for £89m this summer so it's only fair that the clubs who nurtured him as a youngster also benefited from the deal.

According to L'Equipe, French youth teams Roissy-en-Brie and Torcy took around £270,000 from the mammoth fee - a lot when you consider their annual budgets reportedly don't even stretch past the £50,000 mark.

Unsurprisingly both clubs were delighted to receive the transfer windfall, with Roissy-en-Brie boss Sambou Tati saying: “It’s a pride, not only for the club but also for the town.

"Plus, the player is top one, which puts our club under the spotlight."

 

            

   

Meanwhile Torcy’s president Pascal Antonetti added: “We have a few projects to improve the day to day running of the club, but this amount will not be spent over the next six months.”

Pogba has struggled to hit the ground running back in England.

The 23-year-old has made nine appearances under Jose Mourinho this season, scoring just one goal in the process.
