Paul Pogba waited until FULL-TIME of Manchester United's thumping win over Roma to break his Ramadan fast as Frenchman skipped food at half-time before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side put on a second-half masterclass

Paul Pogba was virtually unplayable as Manchester United thumped Roma, scoring and putting-in a stunning performance on Thursday – all while fasting for Ramadan.

The French World Cup winner's header put United 5-2 up in the Europa League semi-final first leg, making amends after conceding an early penalty. His brilliant technique to setup Bruno Fernandes' opener was another sublime moment.

During the holy month – running April 12 to May 12 – muslims like Pogba cannot eat or drink in daylight hours, meaning the midfielder began the game amid his fast.
