Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has responded to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s skills contest challenge.

The former United forward tagged the Frenchman on Instagram, challenging Pogba to a contest to demonstrate their best tricks.

“Paul Pogba i know you have skills,” Ibrahimovic wrote, “But i know i have skills also, I want to challenge you in a skill contest. Afraid?

Both men are currently in self isolation amid current coronavirus pandemic with Pogba focussing on a return to first-team action if the Premier League eventually resumes in the coming months.

The 27-year old has not featured for the Reds since the 4-1 win against Newcastle on December 26th.

The United midfielder responded to the challenge saying: ” Zlat, i saw your skills, it was too easy man. Let me show you something.”

Pogba showed off some triple around-the-world keepie ups before throwing the challenge back to the Swede.

It remains to be seen what Ibrahimovic will have up his sleeve should he decide to answer the French man’s call.

Now playing for Ac Milan, the legendary forward remains a firm favourite among United supporters .

Ibrahimovic has made eight appearances since returning to Italy, scoring three and assisting one in the series A.
