Man united decided against appealing Pogba Red card

Paul Pogba has avoided an
additional suspension following his red card
against Arsenal but will serve a three-game ban
that rules him out of the Manchester derby.
The midfielder was dismissed in the 74th minute
of Manchester United's 3-1 win at the Emirates
on Saturday after appearing to stamp on Hector
Bellerin's calf.
Sources have told ESPN FC that Pogba insists
the incident was accidental and only happened
because Bellerin pulled out of a 50-50 challenge
and ended up in an unnatural position on the
ground.
The 24-year-old will now sit out games against
Manchester City, Bournemouth and West Brom,
but is available for the Champions League clash
with CSKA Moscow on Tuesday.
There was speculation Pogba could have his
suspension increased after appearing to
sarcastically clap referee Andre Marriner as he
left the field.
But after receiving Marriner's report on Monday
morning, the Football Association have decided
they will not pursue the matter further and United
decided against appealing the suspension.
They would have had to prove Marriner made an
obvious error for the FA to overturn the official's
original decision.
