5 things to know about Florentin Pogba

#2 His potential table tennis career

Pogba was a good table tennis player in his youth

While Paul Pogba may have the upper hand during the Europa League match against brother Florentin, he would be no match for his older brother’s skills in table tennis. Florentin, two and a half years older than the Manchester United man, could have had a magnificent career in another sport.

With his twin brother Mathias, he joined a table tennis club as a young boy in Paris and went to become the local champion.

Mathias on the other hand, was even more prolific – he won the French title in his age group. While his footballing career cannot be compared to the levels at which his younger brother has reached, Florentin’s table tennis career could have been as good, if not better.
