Things at Manchester United have not been as calm as their boss, the players or team execs would have wanted, and this latest gesture by fans right outside the team's training complex is a good example of how not to handle such a tricky situation.
Fans have been involved in racial abuse towards Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba, especially after they missed crucial penalties for the team in their two most recent games. Today, radical fans decided to take things a step further by vandalizing a sign that is intended to keep fans from congregating right outside the team's training ground.
The sign, which was erected last week, was spray-painted in red with the message "Pogba Out" clearly visible.
Pogba has been linked to a move away from Old Trafford for the better part of the summer, but coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and team boss Ed Woodward have dismissed all offers for the midfielder. The player has been the target of numerous protests and attacks for his poor commitment to the team's performances and his outspoken desire to leave the club.
This new problem makes fans and experts wonder if such a development may see the team parting ways with the footballer for good. Added to that, the club must take a stand to prevent such things from happening right where the players train, since radical fans seem to ignore the limits of how they should demand a better performance from a player without abusing him on social media or at the stadium.
