Mata mocked Pogba for his inability to grow facial hair, which the Spaniard claims he has been able to do since his teenage years.
Turning to Pogba, he said: ‘He's trying, all day he's trying, nothing is growing there!'.
Pogba replied: ‘There's nothing, just a little bit here!'.
The France international has attracted criticism from pundits in the past for his elaborate hairdos but the midfielder explained why in actual fact, they help him to play better.
‘I think if you look good, in your head you think, “Oh, I look good today”, so mentally, you play better,' he said.
