Several Manchester United stars may have responded to Jose Mourinho’s call to cut their holidays short, but it looks like World Cup winner Paul Pogba has no intention of coming back sooner than expected for he’s living it up while visiting some exotic locales.
Pogba was last seen in action when France beat Croatia 4-2 in the 2018 FIFA World Cup final on July 14 and he’s been on a break ever since.
First, he travelled back to France with the rest of the squad to celebrate Les Blues’ second World Cup triumph and then he jetted off to enjoy a well-deserved break.
His first stop was LA, then nearby Beverly Hills before heading off to his current pin drop at an unspecified beach resort.
And his latest Instagram post has amused his 27.4 million followers to no end:
While it looks like the flashy Frenchman is in Hawaii, on his wages he could virtually be anywhere in the world and it’s anybody’s guess really, unless the man himself divulges his travel details.
Things aren’t as rosy for his employers, however, for their pre-season tour of the United States saw them come away with three draws (one win after penalties), one embarrassing loss to arch-rivals Liverpool and one win over Real Madrid.
Mourinho lashed out at several senior players, including skipper Antonio Valencia and Anthony Martial, slammed club CEO Ed Woodward for failing to land his transfer targets and in general bemoaned the lack of senior players at his disposal.

Phil Jones, Marcus Rashford (both England) and Romelu Lukaku (Belgium) have answered their manager’s call by agreeing to cut their holidays short.
The aforementioned trio will return three days earlier to give Mourinho’s side a much-needed boost as they are lacking quality options up top.
Pogba’s been the subject of intense speculation, with the Frenchman reportedly interested in moving back to Juventus in order to play with Cristiano Ronaldo.
