Has Paul Pogba just cost Manchester United the title?
Arsenal and Manchester United recently played host to one of the most exhilarating games we have seen this season. The Red Devils eventually won out in the end, but as a result of Paul Pogba’s untimely dismissal midway through the second-half, some United fans are beginning to fear the worst.
Jose Mourinho’s side will likely struggle in Pogba’s absence…
Silly from pogba. 100% red card

…especially among the upcoming Manchester derby…
Reckless from Pogba when he didn't need to make that challenge. Now he's out for the Manchester derby – hugely disappointing. Had been superb until then.

Such a fixture could hold great significance in the 2017/18 title race…
That's a big blow for the Derby.. dear me #Pogba

…whilst Pogba is forced to stay home and watch on at his teammates…
No suspension appeal, no Manchester derby for Paul Pogba…

…Manchester United will be forced to play on without him regardless…
BREAKING: Man United have decided NOT to appeal Paul Pogba's three match ban, as they want their fans to have a half-decent excuse for when they lose the derby.

Although Mourinho will have to rethink his options ahead of the big game…
Manchester derby, next week.
Pogba: hoping injuries for some important man city players.
De bruyne: hoping man utd will be at their full strength?

…the upcoming Manchester derby will nonetheless prove a rather explosive encounter…
It is a shame Pogba won't be facing Man City, it would have been great to watch both sides at full strength next week. I will still be definitely watching that game, City frightening.
