​Man Utd star Pogba takes shot at referee over Maguire disallowed goal

Manchester United star Paul Pogba admits he was unhappy with the referee after his team's 1-0 win over Burnley.

United had to dig deep to get a result at Turf Moor after several controversial refereeing decisions.

There was an instance when Burnley could have been down to ten men, while Harry Maguire had a goal ruled out for a foul.

Pogba himself could have won a penalty in the second half after being shoved in the box.

"It's hard but you have to be professional," said Pogba to Sky Sports when asked if VAR proved unsettling to the United players.

"We know as well that it wasn't going to be easy and with the decisions of the referee as well. In my opinion, I did not agree, but I'm not the boss on the pitch. he's the boss.

"We had to keep calm and focussed and we did this, we did well. We scored a goal and won the game.

"It was a goal for sure. He [Maguire] jumped before, he headed it, it was a beautiful goal. Then the referee decides that... it was kind of strange. Strange decisions today. But we gotthe goal so we're happy."
