Paul Pogba is getting his own emoji on Twitter

Of course he was going to be first in line.

Paul Pogba has a lot of things all to himself.

The highest transfer fee in world football. A Stormzy-led video to announce his return to Manchester United. The #Pogback hashtag. The middle of the park during United’s EFL Cup victory over Hull. You get the idea.

And now the French international is poised to become the only player in the Premier League with his own official emoji.

Yeah, that said official emoji.

Pogba said in a statement that he “look[s] forward to emojing”. And why shouldn’t he? Well, apart from that not being a word.

For a limited time, you’ll be able to see the Pogmoji (hey, we can make up words too) when you use the hashtag #Pogba.

It has been launched ahead of United’s meeting with Liverpool on Sunday, which can see José Mourinho’s team move within two points of their Premier League rivals with a victory.
