The Manchester United midfielder has starred in several ads for the sports giant and the latest is arguably the most intense.
It starts with Pogba telling those watching: 'You... you'll never be me. You will never play like me. You won't wear this shirt or dance like me. You will never be me.'

The commercial then concludes with the France international, as he stares down the camera and says: 'I'm Paul Pogba. You be you.' It includes the hashtag #NeverFollow.
Pogba starred in his side's 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Saturday when an 89th-minute goal from Olivier Giroud denied United the win.
Former Juventus star Pogba was involved in Juan Mata's 68th-minute opener and Jose Mourinho was encouraged by what he saw of his French star.

'He is adapting much better in relationships, to the intensity of the competition, and he is much more confident,' Mourinho said.
'Obviously he plays with some guidelines over his position but at the same time with some freedom to occupy some attacking areas where he feels and thinks he can be important. He is comfortable on the pitch. That is the best way of saying it.'
