Surrounded by her three young sons, Yeo Moriba looks the picture of matriarchal pride and ambition.

Taken in the modest council flat in suburban Paris where she brought the boys up alone, it was posted by one of them to celebrate Mother’s Day this year.

Now Yeo’s sense of contentment has multiplied a few millions times over, because that son is none other than Paul Pogba, who is now officially the most expensive footballer in the world.

Before his world record £100million move from Juventus to Manchester United was announced, Pogba posted the moving Instagram tribute to the devout Muslim ‘supermum’ who has had more influence on him than anyone else.

‘Happy Mother’s Day to my Mamso, who God blesses,’ wrote the 23-year-old, who has inherited her love of the Islamic faith. 

‘I had the luck to be your son, and I’m proud that you’re my mother, the son’s mother!’

It was on the Renardiere housing estate in Roissy-en-Brie, to the east of the French capital’s centre, that Pogba grew up with Mathias and Florentin, who are twins three years older than him.

All of them were taught from early childhood to put their religious faith and love of family above all else.

‘Yeo wanted the very best for all of them from day one, but this was nothing to do with money’ said a former neightbour of the 15th storey tower block where the family lived.

‘She absolutely adored her boys, and didn’t care who knew it,’ the source added. ‘Day-to-day life could be a struggle, but she knew all the boys were going places.

‘If anybody did anything to upset them, or hold them back, then Yeo did not care about upsetting anyone, or losing money. She just wanted her boys to be happy.
