Pogba was in terrific form as he found the net twice and was named man-of-the-match in the process.

But it’s been claimed that the Frenchman may have turned on the style due to the presence of a scout from summer suitors Barcelona.

Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo has revealed that the La Liga champions sent eyes to watch over Pogba in Switzerland.

Barca were strongly linked with the £89million midfielder during the last transfer window.

And Pogba only added fuel to the flames by refusing to commit himself to Jose Mourinho’s side.

It could now be that Barcelona are lining up a fresh bid for the World Cup winner this winter.

Ernesto Valverde signed Arturo Vidal and Arthur as replacements for departing Nou Camp legend Andres Iniesta.

But Pogba would be an upgrade on both, bringing both talent and an X-factor to the table in Catalonia.
