Manchester United fans who’ve never heard of a Call of Duty, a Modern Warfare or a Warzone before got a fright today after star midfielder Paul Pogba announced he had “signed” for Verdansk FC.
It’s a PR stunt, of course, a paid promo for Activision’s wildly popular battle royale – and easily dismissed by those familiar with Warzone’s newly-opened stadium.
But some people actually thought Pogba was off – a not entirely unrealistic development given Pogba’s attitude, although you’d like to think the World Cup winner could do better than the Verdansk Sparks (TIL the Warzone canon football team’s actual name, and the stadium has a name: the National Acropolis Arena).
