Paul Pogba is substituted against Norwich City after which he is booed by some disaffected fans. This is repeated after the end of the game.
Manchester United’s Paul Pogba has had a bad day despite his club’s 3-2 Premier League win over Norwich City.
The Frenchman was booed by some United supporters when he was substituted by Marcus Rashford in the 74th minute. Others even insulted him and shouted at him to “piss off”. Even after the end of the game, when walking into the players’ tunnel, Pogba was booed. Pogba responded to the shouts and insults by putting his right hand to his right ear, further heating up the atmosphere at Old Trafford.
Pogba has not been able to convince under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or his successor Ralf Rangnick so far this season. The midfielder, whose contract expires in the summer, has one goal in 26 competitive games.
Mega contract extension offer for Pogba?
Recent reports that the Red Devils have presented Pogba with an offer for a contract extension that would make him the highest-paid player in the Premier League – £400,000 a week is under discussion – has sparked resentment among parts of the club’s fan base. After Pogba’s replacement, some supporters vented this displeasure with their boos and comments.
United manager Rangnick condemned the behavior of the fans after the game. “I can fully understand that the fans are frustrated, and so are we. But I don’t think they should attack individual players. I don’t think that’s right or correct,” said Rangnick.
