Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has admitted that he is looking forward to getting down to business with the France national team after dealing with the trauma of a break-in at his home last week.
The incident happened at the same time as Pogba and his United teammates looked to keep their Champions League hopes alive against Atletico Madrid at Old Trafford last Tuesday. His children were sleeping in the house at the time of the burglary but, luckily, nobody was hurt.
Nevertheless, it was a traumatic incident for Pogba and his wife to deal with, as, just as the Frenchman said in his statement confirming the incident, it robbed him and his family of their feeling of being safe in their own home. Pogba is not the first United player to have had his home broken into whilst playing, with Victor Lindelof's residence targeted earlier this year.
