PREMIER - Paul Pogba had to be dragged away by Michael Carrick
Paul Pogba had to be dragged away by Michael Carrick after he reacted to a torrent of abuse from West Ham fans after Manchester United's win at the London Stadium on Sunday.
The French star was walking off the pitch following United's dramatic 2-1 win when a group of home fans tried to provoke him. In a video clip of the confrontation, one fan can be heard telling Pogba to 'shut your f**king mouth' before someone shouts 'f*** you.'
Pogba had already stopped to gesture to another set of fans closer to the pitch before moving on and reacting to further abuse. He handled it well, appearing to stare into the crowd with his mouth open in response to the 'shut your mouth' jibes.
In the end, United coach Carrick says 'let's go Paul' and drags him down the tunnel back to the dressing room.
