Paul Pogba accused of faking injury after Manchester United’s poor start vs Liverpool


Manchester United and Liverpool are currently locked in Premier League action at Anfield.

Liverpool headed into the game looking to, temporarily at least, overtake Manchester City – who face Brighton on Wednesday – at the top of the table.

Manchester United, on the other hand, were looking to gain some ground on the top-four.

However, Liverpool headed into the game as clear favourites and so far, it is Jurgen Klopp’s side who are dominating proceedings.

Shortly after the goal, Paul Pogba started limping and was taken off after 10 minutes.
