Unperturbed by the athleticism on display, Pogba posted a video of his own effort on Instagram while simultaneously laying down the gauntlet to Ibrahimovic.

Unsurprisingly, it didn't take long before Ibra took notice and upped the ante.

Indeed, the Galaxy striker replied to Pogba's challenge by confronting his former Manchester United teammate with a photo demonstrating his full high-kicking prowess on his Instagram story.
