Paul Pogba stunned by Leeds United fans at Elland Road this season – Jack Harrison
Jack Harrison has revealed that Manchester United star Paul Pogba couldn’t believe his eyes at the Leeds United crowds this season.
The Whites winger admitted that the Frenchman was in awe of the atmosphere during the 4-2 defeat at Elland Road.
Leeds are set for another huge clash this evening with the other side of Manchester, with the crowd no doubt set for a massive role.
Speaking to the Times this week, Harrison revealed what Pogba said to him as the game was going on in West Yorkshire.
“Against Man United at home this year, Paul Pogba looked at me, and was looking around, going, ‘Wow, this is incredible! Is it like this for every game?!’ he said.
“I said, ‘No, it’s a special occasion, just for you!’ Every week they are amazing. They’re super loud at home and travelling as well, we always have so many fans travelling, it’s incredible to have that fanbase.”
Unbelievable.
Jesse Marsch wasn’t here for that game, but he will certainly get a similar atmosphere this evening against Manchester City.
It is all about making it as uncomfortable as possible for the travelling side who are no doubt heavy favourites at Elland Road.
Of course, the atmosphere was crazy against the likes of Norwich, but it is different when one of the top four turns up to town, especially from across the Pennines.
Pogba had every right to be stunned by what he saw, and now it is time to do the exact same all over again against City and the likes of Kevin De Bruyne.
With Kalvin Phillips back in the side too, we can expect some crunching challenges to get us off our seats.
It’s time to blow the roof off and push the lads to another huge result – bring it on and let’s get those points.
