This is the 5-a-side football session with his mates that proves Paul Pogba is happy with a ball at his feet - on any stage.

Pogba and his pals turned up at the indoor Lucozade Powerleague Trafford Sportsdome on Tuesday night for a 60-minute 5-a-side game.

Just over 24 hours after the mega-star had starred in United's 3-1 Boxing Day win over Sunderland – setting-up Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the killer second goal in front of the Stretford End – Pogba was in action again.

But this time the surroundings were far from iconic.

As the amazing video above shows, Pogba doesn't care whether he's mixing it with Premier League rivals in front of 75,000 at Old Trafford or with his friends in an empty giant hanger full of mini-pitches costing £69.50 an hour.

Pogba might be the world's most expensive star at £89 million after his transfer from Juventus to United last summer.

But the 23-year-old football-mad Frenchman showed he can't resist a kick-about with his pals even on a night off.

Dressed in black training gear and sporting a back-to-front baseball cap Pogba was unmistakable as he arrived for the hour-long work-out.

In an era where modern-day footballers are cosseted, pampered and often considered out-of-touch with supporters Pogba was just one of the boys on his night out.

And startled on-lookers couldn't believe their eyes as Pogba took to the pitch and immersed himself in the game showing off his silky skills, even doing his trademark turns and step-overs.

While the pace wasn't as fierce or aggressive as Premier League combat, Pogba can be seen making tackles and trying to win the ball back.

His pals clearly revelled in having the United super-star playing alongside them – but Jose Mourinho and Manchester United might not be so impressed.

In the midst of a hectic festive programme and with United looking set for a New Year top four push, Mourinho might have preferred Pogba stayed at home in front of the TV with his feet up instead of running the risk of an embarrassing injury.

Especially as he faces two crucial League games against Middlesbrough and West Ham in the space of just over 48 hours on New Year's Eve and January 2.

Staying home obviously wasn't Pogba's idea of fun – although he wasn't happy his side conceded a goal after one of their attacks broke down.

But Pogba's no stranger to playing football with pals.

The day before he signed for United back in August, Pogba returned to his home town in France and ended up kicking a ball around with mates from his local team US Roissy.

It's clearly a habit he finds hard to break – and good on him.

Let's hope Jose sees it that way, too!
