“Wait, wait, the history of the club or what are you talking about?” he quipped, highlighting Manchester United's storied legacy compared to Tottenham's achievements.
The fan bolstered his argument by referencing Tottenham's recent 4-0 victory over United at Old Trafford.
However, Pogba was quick to counter, saying, “Listen, when you win a trophy—like the FA Cup that United won recently—you can call back.”
This remark underscored Pogba's point about the importance of historical success and trophies in football.
Despite the fan's nervous attempts to reiterate his position via video call, Pogba remained composed and unfazed, even injecting humour into the discussion.
His witty comeback entertained viewers and reinforced his status as one of English football's most beloved figures.
The exchange left the Tottenham supporter visibly flustered and showcased Pogba's ability to handle banter with grace and humour, further endearing him to fans.
Meanwhile, the 30-year-old is set to return to active football early next year after his four-year doping ban was slashed to 18 months, putting to an end a difficult period for the French midfielder.
The former United midfielder was handed an initial four-year suspension in 2023 after a drug test revealed elevated testosterone levels in his system.
Pogba vehemently denied any wrongdoing and vowed to appeal the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which he did and proved his case.
CAS reduced Pogba's ban, allowing him to resume training with Juventus as early as January. He'll be eligible to play matches again in March, and his initial fine has been scrapped.
