Kicking off season two of ‘The Dial Up’ with a bang, we sat down with none other than Paul Pogba for an informal yet candid chat, in which we got a rare insight into the person behind the character, learning more about what makes the World Cup winner tick.
Refreshing the layout for the new year, ‘The Dial Up’ – our series in which elite players and footballing personalities from all over the world get to just relax and speak free from the spotlight – is back for a second season, and it kicks off with one of the biggest characters in the game, with Paul Pogba on the other end of the line, offering an insight into the man behind the global superstar.
