News by Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editorial Director Updated on 12 Aug 2020 18 comments Manchester United fans who've never heard of a Call of Duty, a Modern Warfare or a Warzone before got a fright today after star midfielder Paul Pogba announced he had "signed" for Verdansk FC. Time to start my next chapter with #VerdanskFC. This team is going to be !!! #LetsGo #Mayhem #NewTeam #FutureChampions #Warzone #CODPartner #WhosIn #NextChapter pic.twitter.com/Jem3L87kOe- Paul Pogba (@paulpogba) August 12, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

But some people actually thought Pogba was off - a not entirely unrealistic development given Pogba's attitude, although you'd like to think the World Cup winner could do better than the Verdansk Sparks (TIL the Warzone canon football team's actual name, and the stadium has a name: the National Acropolis Arena). Pogba's tweet even includes a picture of him wearing a Verdansk FC shirt - all plopped in the timelines of his 7.5 million followers.

Perhaps Instagram star Jesse Lingard would have been a better choice, at this most stressful of moments. Watch on YouTube Activision has gone all in on this, of course, and even supplied press with Pogba's favourite loadout in Warzone. Spoilers: Pogba is meta, although he might want to rethink his primary after last night's Bruen nerf: Primary weapon: The Glitch Bruen MK9 Secondary weapon: Open Season Kar98k Lethal equipment: C4 Tactical equipment: Heartbeat sensor Perk one: E.O.D Perk two: Overkill Perk three: Tracker Ah well. No harm done, unless you're Gary Neville I suppose. I expect he really wouldn't approve of any of this.
