Happy international break everyone! Manchester United and France star Paul Pogba was released from national team duty at the beginning of last week due to a minor injury. He’s expected to be fit for action when United resume their season this weekend, but in the meantime he’s on holiday in Dubai.
Part of that vacation has included his race against a tortoise, which pokes fun at his infamous penalty walk-up. He posted the video with the giant turtle on his official Instagram account and caption the clip with “Pogba penalty run vs turtle…I’m not THAT slow #winner #race #dubai

Pogba penalty run vs turtle ? ..I’m not THAT slow ????????#winner#race#dubai
This isn’t the first time Pogba has interacted with wildlife in Dubai. Back in January, when United were training in the Middle Eastern nation, the Frenchman and his club teammate Jesse Lingard fed a white tiger cub from the bottle. Go here to see that video.
