Mathias Pogba's response

Mathias reacted to accusations of extortion levelled against him by his younger brother following his promise to make shocking revelations about the Juventus star.

Mathias sparked what appears to be a fast-growing family feud when he took to the video-sharing App, Tik Tok, promising to expose his younger brother and ex-Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

He took to social media late on Sunday night to defend himself against the allegations accusing Paul of lying to the police while opening a can of worms about the former United star.
