Burna Boy watches Ronaldo’s show as Pogba dances with the Nigerian singer on stage

The Gbona crooner was at Old Trafford to watch the Portuguese star’s brilliance on his second debut for the Red Devils 

Grammy-award winner Burna Boy was at Old Trafford to watch Cristiano Ronaldo’s greatness in its live form as Manchester United beat Newcastle 4-1 in their Premier League clash.

Ronaldo grabbed the headlines on Saturday afternoon as he scored a brace on his second debut 12 years and 118 days after his last appearance for the club.

The former Real Madrid star put United ahead in the second minute of first-half stoppage time before scoring his second in the 62nd minute.

Burna Boy was in the stands to witness the magic, even though he came to support another United player in Paul Pogba.

The Nigerian singer took to his Twitter to share a picture of himself watching the match, with the caption: Watched my brother kill it! @paulpogba.

Pogba didn’t disappoint as he set up the assist for Bruno Fernandes and Jesse Lingard, who scored United’s other goals.

It didn’t end there either, as the two linked up later in the day at Burna Boy’s show. Pogba was seen dancing on stage with the Grammy winner at his Space Drift concert.

It’s not the first time Pogba and Burna Boy have linked up. The two were in Pepsi’s Champions League advert last season, while Pogba also visited the Nigerian singer when he celebrated his birthday.
