Pogba denies bust-up with Juventus teammate Evra

Paul Pogba denies falling out with Juventus teammate Patrice Evra.

Pogba has refuted claims suggesting he had a bust up with France team-mate Evra during his side's 2-1 win over Portugal at the Stade de France on Saturday.

Juventus midfielder Pogba was on the wrong end of a telling off from Evra after he lost the ball.

But he told RMC: "I wanted to change the play but I did not see the pass, so I kept the ball.

"Then I slipped and lost the ball.

"Pat did not come over to scold me. He came to encourage me. There was no argument.

"As I often say, this is my 'Uncle Pat' and he came to tell me it was not serious and that I should continue as I was doing, as he always done in the past.

"I was a little bummed about losing the ball, but football is like that."
