Paul Pogba was far from Manchester United’s most important player in their EFL Cup triumph, but that shouldn’t stop him from getting involved in the celebrations.
The Frenchman played the full 90 minutes as United beat Southampton 3-2, and was quick to give credit to manager José Mourinho during the trophy presentation.
However, he also dabbed, and it turns out a lot of people aren’t fans of dabbing.

One response to the above would be to recognise that Pogba had just won his first trophy back in English football (no, the Community Shield doesn’t count) and was within his rights to have a bit of fun.
Alternatively, people could choose option b. As they did in their droves.
he did nothing all game then does that he deserves to be locked up

that demeans the trophy more than any weakened team could do

Somehow we don’t think Pogba will be all that bothered with the reaction. Y’know, seeing as he shared a photo of said dab on Twitter and urged fans to ‘keep on dabbing’.
Very happy for our first trophy together! 🏆🏅Ready for more, United we make it! 🙏🏾👊🏾 @ManUtd @adidas @adidasfootball #mufc #eflcup pic.twitter.com/DcaK6FgG25

And, let’s be fair, the response to Pogba’s actions wasn’t *all* negative.
Pogba's dab is like Klay Thompson's jump shot. It's done with such perfect technique that it looks effortless and pretty.

Lmao Pogba had to dab with the trophy just to piss on them. I love it.
