Paul Pogba has said he hopes injuries to “important players” could derail Manchester City’s season.
Speaking prior to United’s win, Pogba was asked on “Football Focus” whether he believed City might slip up before the end of the season.
“I do,” he replied. “Someday I hope they’re going to slip.
“I hope … it’s bad to say things like that but fortunately for us I hope they will get some very important players injured, like what’s happening with us, because people don’t see this, don’t speak about this, but every time we have, like, players injured, important players, they get injured when there is important games.
“So if that starts happening with them as well maybe we’ll get a little difference, you know? A little … how can I say? A little touch that makes them weaker.”
Pogba, who returned to action last month after a two-month absence with a hamstring tear, faces further time on the sidelines after being shown a red card for a challenge on Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin on Saturday.
