MANCHESTER UNITED star Paul Pogba’s penchant for outrageous hairstyles could well be eclipsed by his brother Florentin at Old Trafford on Thursday.
The 26-year-old Saint-Etienne man arrived in England on Wednesday along with his team-mates ahead of the Europe League last-32 first-leg clash.
And not to be outdone by his more famous younger brother, Florentin has undergone a special family cut ahead of facing his sibling out on the pitch.

The defender has opted to have not only his own shirt number, 19, bleached onto his hair, he has also got his sibling’s number six on there too.
Excitement is starting to mount within the Pogba family household, but it is the emotions of the pair’s mother that United boss Jose Mourinho is most worried about.

Speaking to the media earlier, he revealed he has spoken to his midfielder about the family rivalry.
Mourinho said: “We spoke but we spoke in a good way, in a funny way.
“I think it’s a good, nice destiny. I think only mum Pogba is in a little bit of trouble which is normal. It’s impossible for her to choose.
"I know from Paul that his mum wants a draw but next week one son will be happy and another one will be sad.
"There's only a little bit of a problem for the mum.
"For them, they will enjoy it, they will enjoy to play against each other.
"Paul is excited and Florentin for sure is the same. I think it's a good thing."
Saint-Etienne go into the game in relatively good form.
They currently sit fifth in Ligue 1 having won two of their last three games - beating Lyon 2-0 and hitting Lorient for four at the weekend
