With Paul Pogba’s future still hanging in the air, Mathias, brother of the Manchester United superstar, has joined French third division side Tours after almost 18 months out of the game.
Paul is under fire from United boss, Jose Mourinho and is seriously considering an exit from the club.
Mathias, however, finally got a job after failing to secure one in Germany for reportedly being ‘overweight’.
“I chose Tours, because of all the different discussions I had with interested clubs, only the management of Tours understood me and convinced me to join their project,” Pogba told the club website.
“Since February after my injury, I trained hard to return to my best form, and it has paid off because the doctors were very confident.
“The rehabilitation was long and difficult, but I never gave up to return to my best level.
“My main goals for joining Tours are to get back on the pitch, to have fun, but also to help FC Tours and my team-mates earn promotion to Ligue 2.
“I feel physically and mentally 100 per cent and I thank the club top officials for their confidence.”
Pogba’s last competitive game was in April 2017 for Sparta Rotterdam in the Netherlands top-flight.
In August he had a trial with German third-tier side KFC Uerdingen but failed to impress.
in August ended in disappointment after he failed to impress during the trial.
“Mathias could not have helped the team. He’s not physically fit,” club coach Stefan Krämer told the media
“He had a good physique for a number nine, but he still has too many pounds on his hips.”
