Paul Pogba's stunning Bolivian girlfriend Maria Salaues sparks engagement rumours by wearing mystery ring as she cheers on France at the World Cup

The French football WAGS turned out to support Les Blues as they took on Denmark at the FIFA World Cup on Tuesday afternoon.

But while the tournament favourites once again failed to impress, labouring to a disappointing 0-0 draw against their Scandinavian rivals, midfielder Paul Pogba’s stunning girlfriend proved to be a far more engaging sight.

Cheering France on from her place in the stands at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium, Bolivian beauty Maria Salaues, 23, sported a distinctive ring on her engagement finger – giving rise to speculation that he has proposed.

The glittering accessory caught the eye as she made her way to her seat with her fellow WAGS ahead of the match, the French team's final group game during what has been a largely indifferent campaign.

Maria and Paul, who did not play on Thursday, have enjoyed a low key relationship after spending time together in Miami - where she worked as an estate agent - last summer.

Born into an affluent family, it's understood that aspiring model Maria moved to Florida after dropping out of a business administration course at the University of Bolivia.

She has since spent time in the north of England with Paul, who sealed a record-breaking return to Manchester United from Italian side Juventus in 2016.  

Maria was joined by Camille Tytgat, wife of defender Raphael Varane, Charlotte Pirroni, girlfriend of France's forward Florian Thauvin, and Blaise Matuidi's wife Isabelle.

She was also accompanied by Paul's doing mother Weo, and the pair sat side by side as they watched the match.

Despite the high-pressure environment the women looked relaxed as they took their seats. 

While Denmark's WAGs kept a lower profile the players still enjoyed the support of some very excited female fans.

Thursday's draw ensures both France and Denmark progress to the second round.
