Manchester United superstar Pogba was not in a good mood in his close victory over Norwich. Although the team won, it basically had nothing to do with Pogba, he was replaced early, but also by the fans booed and insulted, Pogba was very dissatisfied, after the game to the players' tunnel, made a sarcastic gesture to support the ear to fight back.
Pogba's contract will expire at the end of the season, and the conflict with the fans will probably push him further into the exit of Old Trafford. After returning to Manchester United in 2016 for £90 million, he did not show Ronaldo's contribution, performed erratically and often publicly expressed his desire to leave.
The fans' patience with him has been exhausted, and the Manchester United crowd not only boycotted the owner Glazer family, but also expressed deep dissatisfaction with the performance of some players, angrily denouncing them as "unworthy of wearing the Manchester United shirt". Pogba was clearly one of them, but when Lonnick replaced the French back with Rashford, the Theatre of Dreams booed and fans angrily scolded Pogba: "Fuck off Pogba!"
When Pogba left the field, the score was still 2-2, and finally Ronaldo completed a hat-trick with a free kick to help the team win. In an hour on the field, Pogba did not perform too well, and the crotch-wearing in the first half was wonderful, but he was too sticky and failed to complete the defensive work of a single back. Of course, this can't all be blamed on him, after all, everyone knows that Pogba does not like to defend, and Lonnick's placement of him as the sole back is a risk in itself.
After the game, Lonnick called on fans not to see Pogba as a scapegoat. "The fans are amazing, I fully understand their frustration and disappointment, but I don't think there's any point in targeting any individual or player." Lonnick said, "It's the team's responsibility, so I will always defend and protect my players. I didn't see what Pogba did at the end of the game, but I heard about it. It was his response to the boos from the crowd in the game, and as I said, I could understand the fans' actions, but I didn't think it made sense to hit individual players."
Lonnick added: "I really think Paul (Pogba) did a good job with possession, he didn't play the No. 8 he was best at because we were missing Fred and Scott [McTomine] and I had to make a change.
In the battle between Manchester United and Norwich, pogba was not only mentally injured, but also physically injured by teammate Maguire. While fighting for a corner, the Manchester United captain swung his tail with a weird scorpion and hit Pogba in the head.
In the 61st minute, Maguire tried to kick the ball on his heels during a tangle with his opponent, but instead of touching the ball, he hit Pogba in the head. Fans taunted Maguire again: "Maguire complained about teammate Nemanja Matic's handball in the last round, then refracted Everton's shot into the net, and this game kicked Pogba's head, he must have been an undercover agent installed by other giants in Manchester United."
Pogba was very angry, after falling to the ground and frantically slapping the grass, the anger still did not subside after getting up, and C Luo had to come forward to comfort him. The French back could continue to play but was quickly replaced by Juan Juan Mata.
After these storms, pogba's possibility of renewing his contract at Manchester United has further decreased, and the probability of leaving the team this summer is increasing.
