‘Racist insults are ignorance and can only make me stronger’ – Paul Pogba lashes out at online trolls

The French and Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba, has fired back at ‘ignorant’ online trolls who rained racist abuses on him after he missed a penalty during his club’s 1-1 draw with Wolves last week.

Pogba posted a photo of himself with his son in front of images of Martin Luther king and his late father, Fassou Antoine, this afternoon with the caption:

‘My ancestors and my parents suffered for my generation to be free today, to work, to take the bus, to play football. Racist insults are ignorance and can only make me stronger and motivate me to fight for the next generation.’
