Pogba has become embroiled in a scandal in the past couple of weeks after his brother, Mathias, took to social media to make some serious accusations about the Juventus star.

The PSG forward has now issued a response regarding the scandal, admitting that he has chosen Pogba's word over his brother's.
"Today I prefer to believe the word of my teammate," Mbappe said, according to Get French Football News.
"It is his word against the word of his brother, I am going to believe my teammate.
"It's not a time to put more onto him. I'm pretty detached from it all."
