Paul Pogba unfairly criticised for “dabbing and dancing” after Munich memorial

Paul Pogba has been unfairly criticised for “dabbing and dancing” following the Munich Air disaster memorial service, held at Old Trafford.

On Tuesday, Manchester United marked the 60th anniversary of the tragedy, in which 23 people died – eight of whom were United players. Shortly after those in attendance had observed a minute’s silence at 3:04 pm, some people noticed a tweet had been sent from Jesse Lingard’s account.

The tweet discussed the possibility of Lingard and teammate Marcus Rashford playing a few games of Fifa 18, and some supporters were understandably unhappy with the timing of the tweet, considering it disrespectful.

Pogba has also been accused of acting in disrespectful manner, but it turns out this criticism has been unfairly directed towards the United midfielder. Pogba was accused of “dabbing and dancing” by some on social media after this image emerged of him and Juan Mata leaving the service:

However, it turns out the image only told half of the story, because Pogba was actually greeting a young fan at the time.

Pogba and Mata made their way over to Alex Nield, the excited young fan waiting outside Old Trafford and posed for a photo.
