Pogba Shocks Many By Confession About United’s Disrespectful Performance

Manchester United suffered a major loss on Saturday after being thrashed 4-0 by Everton at Goodison Park.

Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson began the torture by scoring each a goal before the break and the final burial came after Lucas Digne and Theo Walcott goals in the second half.

The poor result brought doubt to United’s hope of finishing at the top four position as they are now in the sixth position.

The performance seemed not to have been taken well with United fans and players with Paul Pogba being the latest to condemn the performance stating that it was ‘disrespectful.’

“The way we played and the performance of myself, of the team, of everyone is disrespectful,” Pogba said.

“We didn’t respect ourselves, the club or the fans. Everything went wrong but the most important thing is the mentality that we put on the pitch – that has to change.”

Pogba also revealed what happened in the dressing room.

“We let the manager speak, the staff speak and they spoke the truth. They said what happened in the game and it is not respectful for ourselves,” he continued.

“What we did on the pitch is not respectful for the team-mates, for the staff, for the people, for the kitman, for everyone.

“They put their life on us, the team and this club. What we showed on the pitch, we did not give them the joy back and that’s why we are angry with ourselves.”

The midfielder also made a promise to United’s fans, suggesting that the team will do everything they can to turn things around.

“I want to say and I know it may not be enough, but the fans want a reaction from the players and the only way to apologise to them is to give everything on the pitch,” he said.

“Do our best, create chances, score goals, defend, work for the team and we can even lose games, but with a good performance and pride on the pitch.

“I don’t want to be harsh with my words but we don’t want to look like we did yesterday because the body language was not good enough for this shirt.

“When you’re here, you deserve it and you have to give your life on the pitch. You have to work, you have to sweat for this shirt and you have to give everything.”

Very few footballers do come out to speak passionately about the poor result. Pogba’s confession clearly shows that he cares for his club and fans.
