Man United’s Pogba Unshaken After Racist Abuse

Pogba vs Wolves

Following a penalty miss against Wolverhampton, Manchester United star player, Paul Pogba suffered racial abuse on various social media platforms that include Twitter and Instagram from enraged club fans, in what seems to be 'racial abuse resurgence wave' on 'black' footballers (as fellow Manchester United player Marcus Rashford was subject to abuse in the following week also following a penalty miss).

Manchester drew 1 : 1 with Wolverhampton in the team's second England Premier League match of the 2019/20season, and Pogba blew away United's best chance to win the match against the defiant opponent.

Certain influential people in the footballing world spoke against the case in racism and the midfielder himself gave a radical message against racism on his social media accounts;

Paul Pogba on Twitter

My ancestors and my parents suffered for my generation to be free today, to work, to take the bus, to play football. Racist insults are ignorance and can only make me stronger and motivate me to fight for the next generation.

Marcus Rashford's message;

Manchester United is a family. @paulpogba is a huge part of that family. You attack him you attack us all... @ManUtd https://t.co/PgalnFQMeu
