Patrice Evra tried to deflect the blame off Paul Pogba after he gave him a penalty kick during Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with West Ham while questioning Marcus Rashford’s performance.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team came up with a goal at halftime after Pogba raised his arms to block a free kick going to his face.
Michail Antonio scored the resulting penalty, awarded by VAR, before Mason Greenwood equalized after the break.
Pogba’s actions drew sharp criticism from Gary Neville about the shared comments.
“He’s in trouble. You are in big trouble, Paul Pogba. He’s in big, big trouble, “said Neville.” He’s been penalized and he’s pretending to hit his head. It’s his trash. Garbage. Think, I felt a little sorry for him, I thought he got hit on the head.
“Shameful. I don’t know why VAR is staring at him for so long, to be honest it’s a shame. Shake his head.”
“Are you trying to make out that you have a bloody nose? I certainly don’t know what you’re looking at.”
Evra, however – having refused to defend Pogba at the break – He was in no mood to criticize Pogba again after the final whistle, insisting that Rashford should be asked questions after a bad display by United’s No. 10.
“People say a lot about Paul Pogba, using a lot of harsh words,” he said full time. “I didn’t see any harsh words about Marcus Rashford, because Rashford had a bad game today.”
