Paul Pogba has broken silence following the racial abuse he suffered after losing a penalty in a 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Wolverhampton.
The game saw Manchester United take the lead in the first half with a brilliant effort from Anthony Martial. The scoreline became level after half time with Wolves coming back with a superb effort.
United had the chance to restore their lead after Pogba was brought down in the box. However, the Frenchman’s spot kicked was saved by the goalkeeper.
Shortly after the game, trolls took to social media to hurl racial abuse at him.
Reacting to the abuse, Pogba took to Twitter with a picture showing him carrying a baby which he took beside a picture of late Dr Martin Luther King.
He captioned it:
“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”.
