Swansea v Man Utd: Paul Pogba should not have been sent off, says Thierry Henry
That is the opinion of pundit and former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry.
With the score at 0-0, Pogba was booked for a foul on Swansea's Tom Carroll in the 26th minute.
Just four minutes later the £89million man tripped left wing-back Martin Olsson, with Swans fans and players protesting he should have been given a second yellow.
Referee Jon Moss only gave Pogba a warning though, a decision Henry agreed with.
“That was unnecessary, I don’t know what he felt, he felt that he had to do it," Henry said on Sky Sports on the first foul on Carroll.
For me it is a foul, yes. I don’t think it’s anymore than that
