Mikel Taunts Pogba; Anticipates Playing Against United’s Signee

Nigerian Soccer team Captain John Obi Mikel aimed a playful dig at new Manchester United signingPaul Pogba.

Mikel passed the comment to embarrassed Manchester United’s world record signing on Twitter saying“Welcome back to the @premierleague @paulpogba – looking forward to facing you again my friend ? ? ☠ #EPL”

Mikel was referring to the last time the two players squared off on the pitch during the 2014 World cup in Brazil where Nigeria narrowly lost to France two years ago

Mikel sold a perfect nutmeg to a seemingly lost Pogba in that Match and it seems the Chelsea stalwart is ready to do it again

Mikel is currently at the Olympics with the Nigerian u23 team
