Paul Pogba has made his first post-Manchester United appearance in a Miami exhibition match featuring an impressive list of names.

Both teams took off to an impressive start, with the scoring opening in the seventh minute as Ronaldinho received a sharp pass from Paulo Dybala and scored to put Team Ronaldinho up 1-0 in the seventh minute.
Team Roberto Carlos quickly responded two minutes later, as Radamel Falcao scored a cheeky chipped goal off a pass from Luis Nani, resulting in a 1-1 scoreline. With this much firepower in both lineups, the goals quickly came pouring in.
The crowd at DRV PNK Stadium witnessed several legends, past and present, combine forces to produce moments of magic; Rivaldo and his fellow countryman Cafu played a 1-2 passing sequence in tandem that ended in Rivaldo putting Team Roberto Carlos up 3-2.
