Paul Pogba risked finding himself in trouble with the law after being pictured using his mobile phone while driving recently, but the 23-year-old is clearly determined to make light of the incident.

Manchester United's £89million man was spotted holding his phone in his right hand as he drove his Audi RS6-R into the club's Carrington training ground on Friday, with the Frenchman condemned by safety groups as a result.

Arriving for training on Wednesday, Pogba made a gesture with his right hand, sticking out his thumb and little finger to imitate a mobile phone, as he smiled for the cameras on his entry to the complex.

With a major government initiative aiming to clamp down on drivers using mobile phones introduced this year, Pogba was condemned by leading road safety charity BRAKE for his actions.

Spokesman Mike Bristow said: 'It's incredibly frustrating to see high-profile footballers thinking it is OK to use a phone whilst driving.

'An estimated one in five crashes are caused by distracted drivers: you need to have your hands on the wheel and your attention on the road at all times.

'Paul is a role model in the public eye and should be setting a better example to the people who follow and look up to him.'

Using a mobile phone while driving is now punishable by six points endorsed on licences and a £200 fine, with newly qualified drivers potentially having to retake their test if caught.

Fresh from being rested as United made it through to the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 4-0 victory over Wigan on Sunday, Pogba is set to return to the Red Devils' side when they host Hull in the Premier League on Wednesday night.

Jose Mourinho's side currently sit sixth in the Premier League table, five points off the top four, having also made it through to the final of the EFL Cup where they will face Southampton.
