Owners residing in the UK must register their vehicles within two weeks of importing it. A report in The Sun mentions an eye-witness saying that they noticed the car going past on the motorway because it really stands out. “We couldn’t believe it when we saw the driver was Paul Pogba. It looked like he did everything that was asked," the eyewitness said, adding, “We wondered what it was all about, he didn’t look like he was speeding or anything.” As per a report on The Independent, the midfielder was asked to sit in the back of the patrol car, while his details were checked and the car seized for running on French registration plates. The report cited a statement from the Greater Manchester Police that read that the vehicle was seized under section 165 of the Road Traffic Act. The report added that Pogba will have to pay £150 to retrieve the car within seven days plus an additional £20 for each day it is held.
