And Pogba took the chance to mock the Three Lions after France beat Croatia 4-2 to win the competition for the second time in history.

While holding the World Cup trophy, Pogba said: "It's coming home."

But then the Manchester United star realised his mistake and he apologised as he looked at the camera awkwardly.

After being told to "do what he likes" by a team-mate, the France ace then belted out the chant again.

He then passed the trophy onto a team-mate and made a sincere apology to the viewers on his Instagram live.

Pogba said: "Just kidding, just kidding, sorry. Just kidding, sorry"

The 25-year-old led the charge as the France squad gatecrashed Didier Deschamps' post-match press conference.

Les Bleus danced on the tables and poured champagne over their manager's head.
