Paul Pogba has had a very eventful night and might even go down as the hero for Manchester United and their fans but he is definitely the villain in Aston Villa’s eyes, he seemed to dive to win a penalty which Bruno Fernandes converted.
Bruno converted one penalty which took United into the lead and gave them the full 3 points but this wasn’t enough for French midfielder Paul Pogba as he seemed annoyed with teammate Luke Shaw for not going down inside the villa box. Luke Shaw was challenged fairly and had the ball stripped away from him before walking back down the left wing to his position in defence but Pogba can be heard shouting at Shaw and making a dive gesture towards the defender as the camera cut towards him.
He may have won the game but Pogba will have lost the respect of many neutrals tonight, I wonder if the pundits will catch this one at full time.
Fem minutter før Pogba fikk straffe ga han i hvert fall Luke Shaw klar beskjed om hvordan det skal gjøres innenfor 16-meteren 😏 pic.twitter.com/dpkLyFlslI
