Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba had a brilliant way to deal with abuse from salty West Ham fans after the full-time whistle at the London Stadium.
Pogba was involved as Man United defeated West Ham in dramatic circumstances. Ex-Hammer Jesse Lingard scored an absolute beauty to give the Red Devils a 2-1 lead late on before Mark Noble missed a penalty in added time.
As you’d expect, the West Ham fanbase were not exactly delighted at the full-time whistle, with a section of them taking their anger out on Paul Pogba as he headed down the tunnel after the game.
Instead of reacting and firing back at the fans, have a look at how Pogba dealt with it…

Gloating is not ordinarily considered good sportsmanship or the manner in which a footballer should be behaving, but if he’s getting it in the ear from West Ham fans, why not give it back to them?
Oftentimes in life the best way to deal with negativity is just to laugh it off. That’s exactly what Pogba’s done here, even if the official stood with him just wanted to get him down the tunnel.
