Manchester United and France midfielder Paul Pogba will be the subject of a brand new Amazon documentary series called 'The Pogmentary' - featuring unprecedented access into his life off the pitch.
It has been confirmed that the 28-year-old has signed a deal with the tech giants, who will provide "a unique and intimate look at Pogba's life" set to release next year.
The original series will likely focus on his departure and return to Manchester United, as well as France's World Cup win in 2018.

Pogba's gaming exploits could also feature in the documentary. Last weekend, the Frenchman was enjoying a late-night session of Call of Duty: Warzone ahead of dropping a masterclass against Tottenham.
The World Cup winner managed to completed 38 passes in the match and overall, his presence was felt for United as he won 12 duels, six out of eight take-ons and four out of five ariel duels.
Just hours before, fans spotted that the World Cup-winning Frenchman took part in a Warzone session with Twitch streamer LukeDutchh.
