Paul Pogba's older brother Florentin has signed for reigning Major League Soccer champions Atlanta United.
The 28-year-old defender left Turkish side Genclerbirligi after his contract expired last summer.
Pogba joins one of the best supported clubs in world football and familiar names such as ex-Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan and former Crystal Palace manager Frank de Boer.
'We're pleased to officially welcome Florentin to our club,' Atlanta United technical director Carlos Bocanegra said in a statement.
'He's a physical centre back who also has the ability to play with his feet.
'He also brings an immense amount of experience after representing his club and country in various international tournaments and we expect him to compete for playing time on our backline.'
Unlike his Manchester United star brother, Florentin chose to represent Guinea at international level, and has 20 caps to his name.
Paul has become an international superstar following a then world-record £89million transfer back to Old Trafford from Juventus and World Cup success with France, but Florentin has taken a more sedate route around the football circuit.
The defender, who can play on the left side of a back four or at centre half, has so far carved out a career in French football, establishing himself at Saint-Etienne following a move from Sedan-Ardennes in 2012.
He has maintained a close relationship with his talented younger brother, often appearing in social media posts together, while he also joined Paul on the field after France won the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The two came face-to-face in 2017 when United drew Saint-Etienne in the Europa League round of 32, with the Old Trafford club winning 4-0 on aggregate.
Florentin arrives at a club that has quickly risen in popularity in North America's top soccer league.
Atlanta were formed only four years ago but now sit in the top 15 for attendances worldwide.
Their gate regularly tops 52,000 at the Mercedes-Benz stadium, and their enthusiastic supporters were rewarded last season with MLS Cup success.
The new MLS season starts in March, while Atlanta will also play in the CONCACAF Champions League that starts this month.

You have just exposed yourself . I did not know that you are a stalker until you revealed yourself . That's filthy . You are a menace to society and a danger to women and our kids . You should be on the police radar day and night . Tell me about your past experiences as a proud stalker . How does it feel crouching on your stomach , hiding behind trees and ducking and diving to avoid detection ? . Does your adrenalin pump ? . What does your conscience tell you OR are you conscienceless ? . I wish I could warn your neighbours to be on a lookout on the lurking danger . Post your photo so that we can display it on social media .
Yo...I’m not sure if you can comprehend.....cause I asked if you’re the stalker....since you say I always say stupid things. But right now it’s you who’s staying stupid things....because I clearly asked "You a stalker or a fanboy "...I hope you know what "you " means
