Paul Pogba issues rallying cry on social media amid gagging claim

Paul Pogba has issued a rallying cry to Manchester United's players and fans after the dire goalless draw with Valencia in their Champions League clash.

United could not find a way through at Old Trafford, leading to scathing criticism from pundits including club legend Paul Scholes. But Pogba attempted to lift the spirits of his team-mates and fans with a post on social media.

"Let's keep fighting United", the post on Twitter read. 

With Jose Mourinho having appeared to question Pogba's commitment and attitude on a number of occasions, along with other players, this was perhaps a fitting riposte.

Indeed, Pogba told reporters after the match that he had been forbidden from speaking amid the deepening tensions.

" I’ve been told I’m not allowed."

It follows his statement after the 3-1 defeat to West Ham when asked for a comment: "You want me dead?"
