Paul Pogba won on Thursday evening with Manchester United against AS Roma (6-2). The midfielder started the game badly by giving away a penalty after fifteen minutes with a sliding. Afterwards, Pogba reacts full of self-mockery and says he may not have to tackle anymore.
Pogba wanted to prevent a cross from Rick Karsdorp early in the game and started a sliding. The sliding cross from the right back of AS Roma hit Pogba’s high arm and resulted in a penalty for Roma. “What could I have done to prevent it? Just don’t tackle. Why should I tackle?” Laughs Pogba in front of the camera. BT Sport.
“I’m trying to tackle and play the Englishman, but I’ll have to practice more without raising my arms,” said Pogba, who otherwise played a good game. For example, the Frenchman set up Bruno Fernandes’ opening goal with a beautiful dribble on the left and headed in from a cross by the Portuguese in the second half. Manchester United has an excellent starting position, but Pogba is not yet fully rich.

“The result is absolutely positive, but it is not over yet,” said the attacking midfielder. “There is one more game to play, so we have to stay focused and play the next game with the same mindset.” After the break, United turned a 1-2 deficit into a 6-2 victory. “We made two mistakes and conceded two goals,” said Pogba. “After that second goal, we ran a bit everywhere and nowhere, but at half time we discussed to keep it simple. The manager made a speech and we all came out of the dressing room motivated to score as many goals as possible.”
