Speed thought Man Utd icon was Paul Pogba during visit to Sky Sports studio

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the whole of 2022, you’ll be familiar with social media personality, iShowSpeed.
The streamer from the United States of America – whose real name is Darren Watkins – has seen his popularity value skyrocket in recent times thanks to his wacky antics online.
Speed was recently part of the Sidemen FC vs YouTube All-Stars game, with several clips of him before, during and after the fixture going viral.
The eccentric influencer is currently back in England and has been in attendance at two Manchester United games.
Speed paid a visit to Old Trafford on Thursday evening to watch Erik ten Hag’s side beat Aston Villa 4-2 in the Carabao Cup third round.
Sadly for Speed, his idol Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t part of the squad and it was the same case for United’s Premier League fixture away at Fulham on Sunday.
Unsurprisingly, the 17-year-old was not a happy bunny when informed of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s absence at Craven Cottage.

Speed’s chaotic visit to the Sky Sports studio
As well as having a minor meltdown over Ronaldo’s failure to make the United squad, Speed produced another viral moment from his trip to the Sky Sports studio.
Former Red Devils striker Louis Saha was part of the broadcaster’s punditry team for the match and he’s someone most football fans would easily recognise.
But not Speed. Instead, the teenager referred to the Frenchman as ‘Paul Pogba’, which had Jamie Redknapp giggling in his chair.
At least he got the nationality right…

Wherever Speed goes, chaos follows! The guy really is a phenomenon when it comes to the social media influencer world.
How good was Saha for Man Utd?
Saha, who Speed is now aware exists, spent four years at United after signing from Fulham in 2004.
The former France international won four trophies in that timeframe, including two Premier League titles and the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League.
Saha played 124 games for United in total, scoring 42 goals and contributing 17 assists. All in all, it was a very successful four-year stint in Manchester.

He then moved to Everton in 2008, where the goals continued to flow.
Saha called time on his professional career back in 2013 following short spells at Tottenham Hotspur, Sunderland and Lazio.
