Manchester United star Paul Pogba made a surprise appearance at the Washington Redskins post-match press conference at Wembley on Sunday.

Pogba was called up to the podium by Redskins cornerback Josh Norman, a self-confessed football fan who follows Paris Saint-Germain, as he spoke in the wake of their thrilling 27-27 tie with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Speaking after the game, Norman said: "Man, what to say? Thank God we came out alive. It was a long game. But since this is an international series and we are over here in London, I brought one of my friends.

"[To Pogba] Come here, man. Come here. As you can see, he blessed me with some Man United stuff, so I appreciate him coming out and supporting the team. That's big. We come over here and play, and I like to show them guys a good time. This is your first game right?"

Norman was furious with the standard of officiating in the match, saying earlier: "Who is official 88? He sucked. He should be reprimanded.
