Paul Pogba scores an absolute screamer and tells Kevin Strootman to “shut the fuck up”

Is swearing just easier in English?

How else to explain why a Frenchman, who spent four years living in Italy, would use some old fashioned Anglo Saxon vocab to voice is displeasure to a Dutchman? Especially when said Dutchman has been playing in Rome for the last three years, making Italian their shared language? Yes, yes, Paul Pogba scored a magnificent 30-yard winner as France took all three points against Holland in their World Cup qualifier last night... https://twitter.com/ManUtdStuff/status/785565589733515264

...But what really seemed to impress people was when he was caught on camera telling Strootman to "shut the fuck up".

Perhaps the Dutchman had just said wistfully: "You know, there was a time Manchester United were going to make me their marquee midfield signing." Sadly, we'll probably never know. Still, it seemed to impress you lot. https://twitter.com/TheNathanSyiem/status/785683818707509249 https://twitter.com/CheGiaevara/status/785576786910441472 https://twitter.com/redfreddevil/status/785605897284386816 https://twitter.com/UnSalihu/status/785576640965378048 https://twitter.com/rich_allen85/status/785577470410035201 https://twitter.com/SmnLlyd5/status/785597452258770944 https://twitter.com/RedDevilTimes/status/785653160283176962 After the match Strootman played the whole thing down.

"We had many chances and we knew that we had in front of us a very strong team, with more luck we could've capitalised on some occasions," he said. "The duel with Pogba and the tirade can happen after a match like this."
