“This occurred during the final minutes of last night's match when they knew that we would not be home. My wife and I rushed home not knowing if our children were safe and unharmed.

“As a father there is no feeling worse in this world than not being there to protect your children and I sincerely hope that no one ever has to feel what I felt last night," Pogba added. Pogba’s wife was at Old Trafford for the match.

Pogba’s contract is set to expire this summer and has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain and a return to Juventus. The Frenchman has played 23 times for Manchester United this season scoring and contributing nine assists.
