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?"
Pogba replied: "First game. Appreciate it. I enjoyed it, good experience. Very good."
Norman was furious with the standard of officiating in the match, saying earlier: "Who is official 88? He sucked. He should be reprimanded.
"We play a physical game, they know that.We come here international game, it all goes out the window... he needs to be reprimanded."
With Pogba, pictured alongside Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry during the game, still at the podium, talk turned of United's frustrating 0-0 draw with Burnley on Saturday, a game in which they were denied by a superb display from England 'keeper Tom Heaton.
"I was mad too, like him," Pogba said of that result.
"But, you know, that's the game. To be honest, I feel like I've lost when I tie, but that's just the game, you know? You just have to think about the next game and do better."
