MAN UNITED stars Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic offered photos as a way of an apology for a noisy game of Uno - but an Australian couple only found out who they were from their son 10,000 miles away.

Nate Patrick, an eSports commentator, was stunned after his parents sent the unlikely images via a family WhatsApp group after meeting during a trip to England.

United's £129m pair were told off by Patrick's unassuming father after their game of Uno had become rowdy, and in return, Pogba offered to take a picture as an apology.

The clueless couple then handed the £200,000-a-week star their phone to take a picture of THEM before a confused Pogba admitted he meant he was offering a photo with himself and Matic.

Despite being unsure on who the two men were, Patrick senior accepted the footballer's offer so as to not be deemed impolite to his fellow passengers.

A bewildered Patrick senior posted the image in the family's group to his son 10,000 miles away, asking: "OK Nath – who is this?"

The hilarious thread has been widely circulated online

An astonished Nathan then exasperatedly responded: "The man with his arm around dad is Paul Pogba, the most expensive footballer in the world, and World Cup winner with France."

The FIFA 19 streamer then threatened to leave the chat before his mum replied that he should be "proud" of them and they were "quite friendly if that's any consolation!"

A dumbfounded Nathan then added: "That makes it worse. Paul Pogba made you take a photo. He basically begged you for it."

His parents revealed the train had come from Manchester and both Pogba and Matic were enjoying some time off after a warm-down session on Sunday.

Both played their part as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer make it seven wins from seven with Pogba notching his fifth goal under his interim manager in the 2-1 win against Brighton.

SunSport exclusively revealed the rejuvenated French midfielder is ready to make a sensational Man U-turn and sit down for talks over a contract extension at Old Trafford.

The 25-year-old World Cup winner is United's second highest paid player on a monstrous £290,000-a-week at present.

And he would be looking for an increase on his wage to put him somewhere near Alexis Sanchez, who is on a Premier League high of £505,000-a-week.
