EURO 2020
Paul Pogba has played down Antonio Rudiger’s bite after France’s 1-0 victory over Germany at Euro 2020 and has called on UEFA to not suspend the defender over the incident. France made a good start to their Euro 2020 campaign as Mats Hummel’s first-half own goal sealed a win at the Allianz Arena. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But Rudiger caused controversy just before half-time after he was caught biting Pogba when they were together off the ball.

Paul Pogba complains of a lack of attacking freedom at Man Utd

Premier League, EURO 2020
Paul Pogba concedes to having more "freedom" playing for France than he gets at Manchester United, but he will always prioritise collective efforts over personal gain. The Frenchman says that he would like to score 15 goals a season for United - having only hit that mark once across five seasons back in the Premier League- but he has a different role to play under Solskjaer. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); He has no issue with that, with versatility allowing him to sit deeper on a domestic stage, but chances to release the shackles when turning out for France will always be embraced. Pogba told L'Equipe: "It's true that at Juventus it was different from Manchester. We were playing three in the middle, in a 5-3-2. I had the freedom, I had to be in the box,...

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); However, the Chelsea forward – who replaced Karim Benzema in the 41st minute – was frustrated after the match and complained about a lack of service from his French team-mates. ‘I was a little quiet because, sometimes, I make runs and the balls aren’t forthcoming. I am not saying that I always make the best runs but I am seeking to offer solutions in the box,’ Giroud told L’Equipe du Soir. According to...
