Pogba Humbly Accepts Criticism By Man Utd Fans After Cardiff Loss, But Does He Deserve The Hate?


ADMIN

118 views

Premier League's final day saw a very disappointing end for the 13-time champions Manchester United after a 0-2 loss at the hands of Cardiff City at Old Trafford last night. 

While neither of the teams entered the field with the motive of winning anything other than the honour of reigning supreme at one of the most celebrated grounds in the world, the disrespectful way in which the Bluebirds dominated Ole Gunnar Solskjær's men for the entire match led to an ugly verbal bout between the fans of the Red Devils and one of their leading men in Paul Pogba

After the loss, when the United players were in the middle of their 'lap of honour' at full time, which they do as a ritual after the final home game of every season, the outraged fans of the club barked down at the Frenchman. 

“You're F*cking Sh*t”, they shouted at Pogba, who took off his jersey quietly listening to the crowd talking down at him. A few moments later, Pogba calmly folded his hands in front of a hostile audience, and exited from the field without saying a word.

Manchester United great, Lou Maraci slammed Pogba for his contributions in bringing up the fight, which, honestly, did not have enough substance to begin with in the first place. 

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

“What are you thinking about?' What's this all about?”

Talking about Pogba talking off his jersey and thinking if it signified his desire to quit the club, he said: "Keep your strip on to start with… who else do you see with a strip off?”

But the question here is whether Pogba got so much hatred because of the way he plays or was it because of something that has absolutely zero relation to the game?

Even though in the 35 appearances that Pogba has made in the EPL this season in which he has scored on 13 occasions and has helped his side have a 18-8-9 winning record and was Manchester United's only representative in the PFA (Professional Footballers' Association) Team of the Year, it was Pogba who faced the heat in difficult times and no one else. 

Why? Is it because he is not English, or is it because he is black? What people do not realise is that racism is not limited to calling someone the 'N' word. Whether intentionally or unconsciously, slandering Pogba to such a degree, regardless of how bad his season was, does not seem to be because of his skills in football. This is not a one-off opinion, people from all around the world believe so:

This agenda against Pogba is fuelled by racism, there is no other explanation. Because the whole back four, midfield and forward put together are not half as good Pogba. https://t.co/U8nPR51n7A

I'm shocked Ole got done with his post match interview and didn't address the Pogba incident. Do this to an English player, they'll raise the racism flag and put on polos to kick it out

Manchester United fans are known for a feeling of compassion towards their players, regardless of the language they speak or the colour of the skin. So, when something this grave and unfortunate happens at Old Trafford, it either means that these so called “fans” aren't real or it means that the moral base of the Red Devils supporters is shaking, both of which are saddening and it breaks my heart.
