Obviously, Maguire had no intention of hurting his teammate. But it could have been a very serious injury to Pogba. And that is why the French midfielder looked angry.
It does not seem to have done too much damage to Paul Pogba as he continued playing following this incident.
In the end, all the efforts of the Manchester United players got rewarded as the Red Devils closed the gap on Spurs and Arsenal in the Premier League table.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored yet another hat-trick to keep Manchester United’s top four hopes alive
Though Cristiano Ronaldo did not have an impressive season by his high standards, he had scored some very important goals for Man United.
Ralf Rangnick’s men started the game on the front foot as the Red Devils went 2-0 up within 35 minutes of the game. Ronaldo scored both the goals for United as he took his Premier League goals tally to 15 for this season.
It looked all good for Manchester United till Norwich City got back into the game.
Dean Smith’s men showed incredible fighting spirit as they came from two goals behind to level things up at Old Trafford in the 52nd minute.
