Paul Pogba slammed by Man Utd legend for his part in altercation with fan

Former Manchester United great Lou Macari has hit out at Paul Pogba for his part in an altercation with a fan at Old Trafford.

Pogba was chastised by a Red Devils supporter following Manchester United's defeat by Cardiff City on the final day of the season.

The fan was heard criticising the World Cup winner's use of Instagram and repeatedly told the France international: "You're f***ing s***."

Pogba shrugged his shoulders back at the fan and gave him the thumbs up, but Macari has hit out at the £89million man for getting involved and for removing his Manchester United shirt.

"Oh come on, come on! I haven't come here today to [see this]," said Macari on MUTV.

"If it was somebody else I'd pick on somebody else. Whoever it would be I'd be saying: 'What are you thinking about?' What's this all about?'

"Keep your strip on to start with… who else do you see with a strip off?"

When told that Pogba had removed his shirt to give to a fan, Macari added: "Well he shouldn't do! He should get off the pitch and then send someone out with a strip.

But supporters were hoping the team would sign off on a positive note at Old Trafford.

Instead Pogba watched the midfielder collect the ball from a throw-in and enter the area before cutting the ball back for his team-mate to score.
