Paul Pogba has demonstrated his class after surprising a young Manchester United fan in Macedonia with a signed shirt and an invite to watch a game at Old Trafford.

Pogba was inspired by Jane after seeing a video of the youngster playing as a goalkeeper in his specialist chair in Skopje, Macedonia.

And the Frenchman showed his caring side by sending him a signed United No 6 shirt, to the surprise and delight of Jane.

Pogba posted the story on Instagram which showed the clip of Jane playing football with the rest of his team-mates in a playground.

After receiving the shirt, Jane videoed a heartwarming message of thanks to Pogba saying 'one day I'd like to play just like you'.

Pogba responded by saying he was inspired by Jane and then invited him to an upcoming United game at Old Trafford as his personal guest.

United played in the Macedonian capital Skope back in August when they were beaten 2-1 by Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup.

Pogba was badly missed by United in the Manchester derby loss to rivals City last weekend as the midfield pairing of Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera were badly exposed.

The former world's most expensive player was unavailable after serving the first game of his three-match domestic suspension for a red card against Arsenal.

United edged to a 1-0 win over Bournemouth in Pogba's absence in midweek and will be without the midfielder once again for Sunday's trip to West Brom.

Pogba's manager Jose Mourinho has been asked by the FA to explain his comments after suggesting City commit 'tactical fouls' in the pre-Manchester derby press conference.

The two teams were involved in an ugly tunnel brawl after last Sunday's derby, which City won 2-1 thanks to Nicolas Otamendi's second-half winner.
