Paul Pogba appeared to react to Manchester United fans on an afternoon of contrasting emotions for the team at Old Trafford during Saturday’s Premier League victory over Norwich.
Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick dragged Ralf Rangnick’s side to the victory after a hugely unconvincing team performance in the midst of a poisonous atmosphere among the club’s fanbase. There was a huge protest staged by fans ahead of kick-off against the club's Glazer ownership and the supporters turned their ire on underperforming players during the game.
Chants of “you’re not fit to wear the shirt” were directed towards the team after they let their two-goal lead over the Premier League's basement side slip, but it was the underperforming Paul Pogba who bore the direct brunt of the frustration. As he was substituted off midway through the half, the news was met by ironic cheers from large sections of the home side's fans before he was booed off. In the immediate aftermath of the moves, the audible chant "f*** off Pogba" came from the home stands.
