Manchester United star Paul Pogba is in Dubai spending time recovering from injury. But yesterday, the French player took some time out to meet social media sensation Just Sul.

The Indian engineer-turned-Instagram star has a digital following of 5.4 million people; small in comparison to Pogba's 39.4m, but certainly not a number to be sniffed at.

In the video, Sul can be seen receiving a signed Manchester United shirt from Pogba, which he then drapes over his bare stomach.

"Show me the abs," Pogba tells the social media star, before laughing off a suggestion that he might want to sign Sul's stomach.

They dabbed when Pogba had finished the al fresco signing.

In a second video Pogba asks Just Sul what his name is, he says, "Paul Pot", which provokes a big laugh from he footballer.

In the videos they appear to be standing on a terrace at the Emerald Palace Kempinski Dubai.

Like Pogba, Just Sul seems to be a Dubai regular – according to some reports, he is now living in the UAE.

He has posted videos of himself at the Burj Al Arab, on the Meydan Bridge, hover boarding off the Dubai coastline, posing with girls on the Kite Beach running track, with fast cars in the desert, writhing around in sand dunes ... the list of Instagram cliches goes on.

Who is Just Sul?

Unlikely Instagram sensation Just Sul is a 40-something mechanical and electrical engineer from Mumbai, India. A pre-TikTok star, he rose to fame with his quick and witty Instagram and Vine videos, which he started posting in April 2015.

Much like Celeste Barber, one of his trademark comedy moves is mimicking celebrities; the Kardashian and Jenner sisters, Cristiano Ronaldo, Tupac, Conor McGregor and The Weeknd are a few of the stars who have got the Just Sul treatment in the past.

His videos have been shared by the likes of Akon, Kim Kardashian and Snoop Dogg.
