Manchester United: Fans react to Pogba and his comments following loss to Arsenal
Manchester United lost at Old Trafford in the Premier League to rivals Arsenal on the weekend. Paul Pogba’s error led to the Gunners’ goal and many members of the fanbase are not happy following his comments about this goal after the game.
It was a tight game and only one goal separated the sides. In the second half, the Frenchman made a poor tackle on defender Hector Bellerin and the North London side were rightfully given a penalty.
Speaking about giving away the penalty, the midfielder said to the BBC, via @utdreport: “Maybe I was a bit out of breath from running before and it made me do this mistake.”
It certainly wasn’t one of Pogba’s best matches as he picked up a 5.8 rating (SofaScore). He made only one key pass, failed to have a single shot on target and won only one four of his 15 ground duels. This performance resulted in one fan saying: ‘His mistakes are ALWAYS costing the team dearly’.
Here is what many United fans have been saying following the comments from Pogba:

I’m so bored of these pathetic performances from Pogba. He’s given away 3 penalties already this season which is probably equal to the number of new hairstyles he’s modelled on social media.

@paulpogba has given me little hope. Can’t count the number of times he was dispossessed/ having poor games. Plus all the shenanigans and flirting with Real Madrid. Time to move him on and start @Donny_beek6.

Not the first time. Happened more than once. No more excuses. He’s been awful this season and injured last season.

😂 rookie excuse, always performing well in his national team, but out of breath playing for his club

Drop him now. Was awful today, even before this mistake. Lost the ball way too much, fouled every player on the pitch and offered nothing going forward or backwards.

His mistakes are ALWAYS costing the team dearly. ALWAYS
