PAUL POGBA posted a touching tribute to two special mums on Mother’s Day.
The Manchester United midfielder, 27, took to social media to publicly hail his own mum Yeo as well as his wife Maria Zulay.

Zulay, also 27, is the mother of Pogba’s two-year-old son Labile Shakur.
Pogba shared two photos – one hugging his mother and kissing her on the top of the head.
The other picture, again with Pogba in a stylish green blazer, sees Zulay sat in a chair smiling while her husband stands behind and kisses her forehead.
The Frenchman wrote: “Today is a day to remember all of the mothers.
“The mothers that are here with us today and mothers that can no longer celebrate.
“Enjoy the precious moments with the people that gave you life, laugh with them, hug them, spend time with them because you only have one.
“Take a moment to embrace the love and remember your mum! #HappyMothersDay”
He signed off the post with emojis of a kissing face and a bunch of flowers.

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti and Juventus forward Paulo Dybala were among those to comment on the Instagram post.
Unlike his Manchester United team-mates, Pogba won’t be spending Mother’s Day at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils take on fellow Champions League hopefuls West Ham at 7.15pm tonight.
But the World Cup-winning midfielder – whose contract expires in 2022 – has not played since February 6 due to an ongoing thigh injury.
And his absence is being felt sorely by Manchester United and Bruno Fernandes in particular, according to SunSport columnist Danny Higginbotham.
He said: “Manchester United do miss Paul Pogba – it is as simple as that.
“They are missing his range of passing and his ability to drive at players.
“The question was, ‘Can Pogba and Bruno Fernandes play together?’.
“But now it is clear that, without Pogba, a certain amount of Fernandes’ freedom is taken away.
“In the Frenchman’s absence teams found that if you stop Fernandes, you now stop United.”
