Pogba was a French junior international and was on 6 September 2011 against Italy's U-19 team for the first time for France's U-19 team . He made his debut in the national team in March 2013 in the World Cup qualifier against Georgia , when coach Didier Deschamps included him in the starting line-up. In his second match in this circle, four days later against Spain , he received two warnings in the 77th and 78th minutes and thus a dismissal. His national team colleagues call him “la pioche”, the pickaxe.

In July 2013, Pogba won the U-20 World Cup in Turkey with the French U-20 selection under coach Pierre Mankowski and was voted the best player of the tournament.

He was called back to the squad for the 2018 World Cup and made six appearances. In the opening game against Australia , he supposedly scored the 2-1 winning goal for his team, which was later counted as an own goal by Aziz Behich , who deflected Pogba's shot. On July 15, 2018, he and the national team won the World Cup in the final against Croatia, in which he scored the 3-1 goal in the 59th minute. His team eventually won the game 4-2.
