The pair know each other well from their time at Manchester United, having moved to Old Trafford in the same transfer window ahead of the 2016/17 season when Jose Mourinho was in charge of the club.
Both Zlatan and Pogba demonstrated superb technique and even exchanged some online banter and taunting, with the legendary Swede offering some career advice to the French World Cup winner.Before showing off his skills, Zlatan told Pogba: 'It's looking better, much better. But now I'm going to take it to another level. Watch and learn.'
Ibrahimovic continued to defy his aging body by showing a range of keep-ups, chest controls and the 38-year-old even managed to bounce the ball over his head despite it being behind him.
Pogba had previously shown why he is known as one of the most technically gifted players in world football by showing his round-the-world tricks.Both Ibrahimovic and Pogba helped United win the Europa League and League Cup in 2017 but their partnership on the pitch did not last for long.
A long-term injury to the Swedish striker saw him fazed out of the club in the 2017-18 season, with Zlatan moving to Major League Soccer to play for LA Galaxy.
The forward was a revelation over there but decided to leave the club at the end of the 2019 season and is now back at former club AC Milan on a short-term deal.
