Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba trained in a Juventus shirt on Wednesday in support of Blaise Matuidi who tested positive for COVID – 19.
The 27-year-old’s future is uncertain with former club Juventus and Real Madrid getting linked with him.
In a video uploaded to his Instagram account on Wednesday, the World Cup winner was seen training at home wearing a Juventus shirt with Blaise Matuidi’s name and number at the back.
The Frenchman explained that he and United teammate Victor Lindelof – who was spotted in Albin Ekdal’s Sampdoria jersey – were simply supporting their international teammates after both Serie A players tested positive for coronavirus.
‘’New training camp is called…Quarantine PP Arena, open 24/7! Having fun at home with my brother @victorlindelof.’’ Pogba wrote on Instagram.
‘’Supporting our friends @blaisematuidiofficiel and @albinekdal and all the athletes and people around the world!
‘’Be strong, #StayAtHome and be safe!
‘’I know the cheeky ones will talk about the Juventus jersey but I’m just supporting my friends…that’s all nothing more.’’
Pogba has not played since Boxing Day having undergone surgery in his right ankle in January. He was expected to begin full Manchester United training on Tuesday but the club cancelled the training due to coronavirus concerns.
