Pogba is unhappy with life at Manchester United – and the manager is known to give the frenchman the cold shoulder.
Against Valencia, he got a chance from the start with the Portuguese comments in the press that the Pogba one would expect to put his stamp on the fight.
he did – but not for the positive.
on its only chance in the match, with weights and pulleys to be able to send United in front of Juventus in Group H, managed the French midfielder to kick Marouane Fellainis frispilning past the goal. From two meters distance!
Not just an action to force the manager’s respect – and not just what United needed.
He could have equalized to 1-1 after Carlos Soler had brought the home team in front after a quarter of an hour.

It had the in pretty safely after the fight, which ended with a 2-1-victory – according to a new United-boiling at the scoring to 2-0.
It came just a minute into the second half, where guests Phil Jones in a remarkable sliding tackle sent the ball decisively past Sergio Romero in the United goal.
And it did neither to or from, substituted Marcus Rashford headede a trøstemål home shortly before the time.
Manchester United will also fretting over the performance, as Juventus surprisingly, the train to Bern and lost 2-1 to Young Boys. Thus they could have taken the group’s first place, that would have meant seeding for Monday’s draw for the 1/8 finals.
But Paul Pogba and co. may find themselves in to play the second fiddle – the frenchman, probably in the double meaning of the in the coming time.
