da bet7k： It was a truly embarrassing result and one that summed up the current state of affairs at Manchester United right now.
Huddersfield, a side who have earned just 15 points, conceded a whopping 75 goals, lost 28 out of 37 games and won just a measly three league fixtures all season managed to hold the Red Devils to a 1-1 draw – to make matters worse, the Terriers had nothing to play for, whilst United needed to win in order to keep their faint top four hopes alive.
As a result of their inability to qualify for the Champions League, a number of United’s top earners will be forced to take a 25% wage cut due to their heavily incentivised contracts at Old Trafford, but no-one will be hit as hard as Paul Pogba.

The French international is among those who will suffer most from not securing entry into Europe’s best club competition, as his £300,000-a-week deal with the club contains a £1.8m bonus for Champions League qualification.
Enough about money, however. This is a player who has given match-winning team talks in the dressing room before helping his side win the World Cup. This is a player who has played in the Champions League final. A player of Pogba’s pedigree will undoubtedly, and rightly so, be embarrassed at the result against Huddersfield and the consequences that come with it.
With that in mind, there was one image from after full-time at the John Smith’s Stadium that showed Pogba was humiliated with his and his teammates’ inability to break down one of the league’s worst sides.
The former Juventus man couldn’t even dare to show his face after the shameful result.
It was a moment which proved that, despite the media’s constant belittling of the 26-year-old and his loyalty, he does care about the club and was truly embarrassed to even stand before the travelling supporters and look at them in the eye.
Well, that, or the fact his bank balance just took a major hit…
