Paul Pogba will have a karma dish served at dinner tonight, as he will miss the Manchester Derby due to a red card.
The French midfielder was sent off after 74 minutes due to a horrific challenge against Hector Bellerin, in which he stamped on the player's left calf with his right leg. The second most expensive player in the world was unceremoniously sent off, meaning that he'll have to watch the game against their neighbors from the stands.
But why do we say he'll get a karma dish for dinner?
Paul Pogba to BBC Football Focus: "Some day I hope City are going to slip and I hope, and I know that it’s bad to say things like that, but I hope for us that some very important players get injured."

Fans didn't forget about his words and mercilessly trolled the French midfielder. Have a look.

Can see why he got sent off... Absolutely stupid from Pogba to even give the ref the chance to do that. Gutted he’s missing the Derby is a massive understatement.
