PAUL POGBA has sparked rumours he is the latest World Cup star to get engaged as his girlfriend Maria Salaues showed up to the France game sporting an engagement ring.

The 23-year-old Bolivian beauty was in the stands for Les Bleus' final World Cup group game against Denmark.

And as she shot to her seat, photographers zoomed in on her, noticing that she was sporting a band on her engagement finger.

It follows pictures of Cristiano Ronaldo's partner Giorgina Rodriguez wearing an apparent engagement band during Portugal matches.

Salaues and Pogba began dating over a year ago and went public during the Manchester United star's holiday in Los Angeles, where they were spotted out together in public.

Maria has previously been based in Miami, where she has a modelling career.

But now it appears she is ready to settle down as a footballer's fiancee, after being spotted attending United games towards the end of last season.

Pogba has been linked with a move away from United, as SunSport reported exclusively that PSG have offered United Marco Verratti plus cash for the midfielder.

The Sun exclusively revealed footage last year of Maria raising a spoon to her nostril containing a suspicious white powder.

Among other visitors to the game were Blaise Matuidi's wife Isabelle, who has been sporting a new blonde look after being a brunette for the last few years.

And Raphael Varane's stunning wife Camille was also in attendance for the final group game of the World Cup, with Les Bleus already safely qualified.

Didier Deschamps' side have not particularly impressed during the opening games of the tournament though, with the 1998 World Cup-winning captain unable to blend their mix of pace and skill into a coherent collective.
