Maria Zulay Salaues is the wife of Manchester United superstar, Paul Pogba, and here is all you need to know about her.

Paul Pogba and Maria Zulay Salaues are married to each other since 2019 and even have two kids together. They met each other four years back during a pre-season tour for Man United.

Maria Zulay Salaues and Paul Pogba Families

Maria Zulay Salaues was born to Ricardo Salaues and Karla Antelo in Rogore, Bolivia. Her parents are still believed to be living in South America and she has two older sisters, Gabriela and Carla. Apart from that, not much is known about her family.

While dating each other, Salaues and Pogba made trips to Bolivia to meet her parents and Maria was herself spotted sitting with Paul Pogba’s mother, Yeo, during the 2018 FIFA World Cup final in Russia.

Maria was spotted wearing a huge ring on her left hand, which sparked rumours about the couple’s marriage. Paul is very close to his mother, Yeo. His father, Fassou Antoine Pogba, is sadly no longer with us after having passed away at the age of 79 from a long-term illness.

Pogba has two brothers, Florentin and Mathias, both of whom are professional footballers. Paul Pogba is a Muslim, and Maria Zulay Salaues is believed to have converted from Christianity to Islam after her marriage.

Maria Zulay Salaues’ husband Paul Pogba

Maria Zulay Salaues and Paul Pogba met each other in the United States of America in the summer of 2017. United were on a pre-season tour in the country and Pogba was then recovering from a hamstring injury.

The two bumped into each other there and have been together ever since. Initially, she made several trips to Manchester to be with Pogba as she had to stay in Miami due to her professional modelling career.

And that is what started the rumours about Pogba and Zulay dating each other. The couple remains silent when asked about being married, but is widely believed that the two have already tied the knot.

Pogba is a superstar footballer for Manchester United. He started out in Man United’s youth academy but a disagreement between his agent and Sir Alex Ferguson saw him leave for Juventus on a free transfer in 2012. He re-joined the Red Devils in 2016 under Jose Mourinho for a then world-record fee of £89million.

The France international, born in March 1993 to Guinean parents, has won the FIFA World Cup with his country in 2018 and was the runner-up with Les Blues in the 2016 UEFA European Championship. He still has a long way to go in his career and it would be interesting to see how loaded his trophy cabinet is by the time he decides to hang up his boots.

The couple has two kids together. Their first child, Labile Shakur, was born on January 3rd, 2019. Pogba celebrated the occasion by doing a special celebration after scoring against Brighton and Hove Albion.
