It was a minute that incited contention, as the France universal midfielder appeared to be gotten out by the uncommon body position of the Gunners protector.

Pogba has challenged that the incident was not intentional and said he had misread the circumstance.

“I didn’t really speak after the game – I didn’t have time – but I think Hector, I know him as well, and I would never give him a tackle like this,” he said.

“Unfortunately for me I thought he would put his feet and he was in a position that was a disadvantage for me so I have
done it.

“It looks very bad, but the intention wasn’t like that. They had the decision, the referee got the red card and that’s football.”

Pogba featured in the full 90 minutes in Tuesday’s Champions League match against CKSA Moscow, with Jose Mourinho’s squad coming from behind to claim a 2-1 win thanks to goals from their forward Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford.
