MAN UNITED supporters blast POGBA for training in Juventus Jersey

With the world of football still reeling from the virtual shutdown of the sport following the global outbreak of coronavirus, some players have taken to working out on their own as they stay fit.

Players like Ghana’s Michael Essien, Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi, who contracted the disease and has recovered, Arsenal’s David Luiz and Everton’s Theo Walcott have shared videos of themselves working out.

While most of these updates have been received quite fondly by fans, Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba’s own workout video has rubbed many Red Devils fans the wrong way.

In his video, Pogba was wearing a Juventus shirt, which aside from being his former club, is a club he has been heavily linked with.

The jersey bore the name and number of Juventus and France midfielder, Blaise Matuidi, who contracted the disease recently.

Pogba explained that he was wearing the jersey in support of his France mate and other players who have got the disease as well.

“I know the cheeky ones will talk about the Juventus jersey. I’m just supporting my friends … that’s all, nothing more.

‘Supporting our friends Blaise Matuidi, Albin Ekdal, and all athletes and people around the world! Be strong, and be safe.’

Victor Lindelof, who Pogba was working out with wore the jersey of Sampdoria’s Albin Ekdal.

Take a look at the video of Pogba below:

Despite the explanation from Pogba, fans of Man Utd have taken him on for wearing the jersey given the huge transfer speculation surrounding him and the club.

Some argued that he could have worn Matuidi’s national team jersey instead.
