His brother may be the one who hits headlines more regularly, whether it be good or bad, but Florentin Pogba's antics in his last game have got people talking.
The 27-year old, elder brother of Manchester United midfielder Paul, signed for Turkish outfit Gençlerbirliği in January - ending a five-and-a-half-year spell with Saint-Etienne in France.

He's made seven appearances in the Turkish Super Lig but his latest outing was very controversial. Pogba, whose twin brother most recently played for Sparta Rotterdam in Holland, picked up a knock and was struggling in the 1-0 defeat to Antalyaspor.
In the 88th minute, with his side trailing 1-0 to a Souleymane Doukara goal, the Guinea international had enough; removing his shirt and trotting off the pitch while the opposition took a throw-in.
There was no substitute ready because all three subs had been made, he was going off on his own accord. But his teammates were incensed, with a few of them letting him know what they thought of his abrupt exit.
According to reports in Turkey, many of Pogba's colleagues were still fuming with him in the dressing room after the game and security offers and club officials had to defuse the situation.

The result means Genclerbirligi are second from bottom in the Turkish top flight and facing relegation to the second tier with two games remaining.
Did Pogba act unprofessionally? Should he have tried to stay on?
