Manchester United star Paul Pogba blames himself for missed Anfield opportunity
Manchester United star Paul Pogba had a golden chance to end not only Liverpool’s proud home streak but also improve our lead at the top last Sunday.
The Frenchman’s second-half strike, however, was saved by an excellent Alisson Becker who reacted quickly and effectively. Given how close the title race is this season, it could prove to be yet another margin of error that could have larger consequences.
According to the Metro, Pogba apologized to the United squad and was still fuming in the dressing room after full-time.
United skipper Harry Maguire sympathized with the midfielder while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told him to forget it.
With the game done and dusted, there is no point worrying over spilled milk. The Norwegian is right in asking his star man to let bygones be bygones.
With us set to take on Jurgen Klopp’s side in the FA Cup later this week, Pogba can set the record straight at Old Trafford.
While it would have been amazing to see us come away from Anfield with a win, the performance was largely lacking.
United took a safety-first approach and could have been in deep trouble had the Liverpool strikers had their shooting boots on. United did, however, have the better chances on the night, albeit limited.

The Red Devils should have shown more intent against a side that had no specialist centre-backs on the night. While a draw at Anfield is never a bad result, on this occasion, however, we should have done more. It would appear Pogba realizes just that.
