Paul Pogba shared the family dance on his Instagram page @paulpogba

Paul Pogba had a night to remember on Thursday when he played against his brother Florentin for the first time as Manchester United beat St Etienne 3-0.

Their on-field meeting took place in far grander surroundings than they were used to in their childhood, when they played on artificial pitches in the Paris suburb of Roissy-en-Brie.

Elder brother Florentin marked the occasion by having both his and his sibling's squad numbers shaved into his hair.

United midfielder Paul, the world's most expensive player, said: "It was something magic playing against my brother.

"I just couldn't believe it when I saw him. We just started laughing and said let's enjoy the moment because it doesn't happen every day. I enjoyed it a lot."

While Zlatan Ibrahimovic made the difference with his first hat-trick for United, the home side's Pogba might also have scored but hit the bar with a header instead.

He added: "I wanted to score but I hit the crossbar. I don't know what is going on here but something is going wrong for me. So far I have been hitting the cross bar a lot.

"In seven or eight months at United I think I have hit the cross bar more times than I did in four years at Juventus. It is a bit weird but I am still happy."

Nevertheless, it was a special occasion for his family and they all came together to sing their very own family song and dance on camera.
