​Man Utd star Pogba reacts to George Floyd killing on social media

Manchester United star Paul Pogba has given his reaction to the George Floyd protests.

Demonstrations started in the United States in response to the unarmed Black man's death at the hands of Minneapolis police officers.

They have now spread to Europe and many other parts of the world.

Pogba went on Instagram to give his take, accompanying this message with a picture of himself.

He wrote: "During the past few days I have thought a lot about how to express my feelings about what happened in Minneapolis. I felt anger, pity, hatred, indignation, pain, sadness.

"Sadness for George and for all black people who suffer from racism EVERY DAY! Whether in football, at work, at school, ANYWHERE!

"This has to stop, once and for all! Not tomorrow or the next day, it has to end TODAY!

"Violent acts of racism can no longer be tolerated. I can't tolerate. I won't tolerate. WE WON'T TOLERATE.

"Racism is ignorance. LOVE is intelligence. STOP the silence. STOP racism."
