I am a very rich footballer,
and I play for Manchester
United,
I flew in to Manchester -
on my private jet, because
I was invited.
I wear a lot of bling, as
jewelry I do love,
And as I’m worth millions,
a gift from my lord, above.
My agent did the haggling,
and he really earned his
money.
But he doesn’t like the
media - he thinks they
are so phony!
But he is my business
agent - and I have to
pay him right.
Even on my private
jet - we have a drink
when on-flight.
I am a proud Frenchman,
but I chose the English
Premier League,
Earning all that lovely
money - it causes mass
intrigue!
I’m only 23 - and I am
now very rich.
Earning absolutely millions,
‘isn’t life a bitch!’
Nearly £90 million pounds,
in English currency,
But the press revealed all -
we wanted our secrecy!
There is NO limits of the
money - in the English
Premier League,
And playing for Man United,
is a dream I had indeed.
But will I perform with
honours - and be a Man U
hit?
Or will I be a total flop -
and throw a great big
French fit?
I have to thank the
“Special One” - he
dug deep into his pockets.
Spending serious money -
on one player who stands
as tall as a rocket!
But I don’t think I’m worth
this money - it creates a
lot of pressure.
I can’t justify it all - I need
to reassure.
We have to win some
trophies, and make the
Reds win more.
Because I can’t afford to
be a flop - I really need to
score.
The big day is this weekend,
when I’ll be judged for sure.
And only scoring goals will
do - success is the perfect
cure.
The boardroom will be
watching - and so will Jose
Mourinho,
Will I be a mega-hit? Just
watch - and find out more!
My name is Paul Pogba, and
I play for Manchester United.
I’m earning millions of pounds,
‘oh I’m so excited!’
But the fans will have to pay
up - as prices are to rise.
They have to pay my wages -
‘oh what a lovely surprise!’
The special one has chosen
me - as a saviour for Man U.
And all that lovely money -
paid to me, from YOU!
Now let me get started -
but first a drink at the bar;
‘My lords, ladies and
gentlemen - please welcome -
Paul Pogba.’
