where is the foul on Pogba considering he clearly trips himself up ?

His left foot does clip the other player's calf which is what sends it across into his own calf. People generally don't trip over their own legs while running unless they're the clumsiest person alive. Not saying that's enough for a foul or not, I'm just saying you can see that there. I don't think it's a foul because Pogba has him arm across the defender's throat which arguably is a foul the other way.

The defender puts his leg across Pogba, therefore deflecting Pogba's foot onto the back of his other leg.
Pogba was clearly impeded. His 'tripping himself up' was totally unavoidable and was a result of the defender impeding him.

Really ? So Pogba tripped himself up because the defenders leg was in the way ? I can’t see anywhere in that video where the defender puts his leg across Pogba ?

Never a penalty in a millions years but it would explain why Man Utd have had so many - there is no touch from the defender on Pogba , none

You can't say there isn't contact on the defender unless you haven't watched it closely enough. He does trip on the defender's calf first. But I admit the defender didn't do a lot wrong.

As I said “ no touch from the defender on Pogba” - so the defender didn’t make the touch , Pogba clearly clipped the back of the defender which then tripped himself up - never a foul , the defender is just running for the ball , no change of direction , didn’t even attempt to tackle - how it’s not overturned I’m amazed.

It’s supposed to be a contact sport - the other day Darlow just grabbed Mane by the leg - stayed on his feet and got nothing, Pogba goes tumbling down tripping himself up and gets a penalty
