Everyone’s making the same joke about Paul Pogba’s latest tweet

Ba dum tsssshhhhh

Paul Pogba won't be playing for Manchester United this afternoon in their FA Cup tie against Huddersfield due to illness. The Frenchman has also been lacking in form in recent weeks, and has found himself being subbed off in games against Spurs and Newcastle, as well as starting from the bench against Huddersfield in the league two weeks ago. He may have nine assists this season, but it is hard to argue that he has played well in the past few games. The prime factor in why that is, though, is up for debate. Regardless, he misses today's game through illness, and has not been dropped, if he and the club are to be believed. Pogba himself confirmed reports of his absence on Twitter, explaining that he needs to 'get better'. https://twitter.com/paulpogba/status/964859179075858432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.joe.co.uk%2Fsport%2Fpaul-pogba-tweets-explanation-for-his-omission-from-man-uniteds-squad-to-face-huddersfield-163424 His phrasing of the tweet has done him no favours though. It's clear that he means he has to recover from his illness before he can play again, but you can't give that sort of opportunity to make a joke to the Twittersphere and not expect 1000 people to be all over it. And they were. https://twitter.com/JohnBrewin_/status/964866471963824130 https://twitter.com/SmnLlyd5/status/964865140511428610 https://twitter.com/ODDSbible/status/964868306493739008 https://twitter.com/VieiraPaddy/status/964865949626175489 https://twitter.com/TalkOfTheBridge/status/964861876478926848 https://twitter.com/FraudUnited/status/964865265455509504 https://twitter.com/jpwred316/status/964863809944018944 https://twitter.com/mcfcman66/status/964865666829508608 https://twitter.com/MarcoReubs/status/964865099772104707   He's given Twitter an open goal there, and they have made no mistake in burying the chance.
