10 Things Man City Fans Need To Know About Paul Pogba

6. He Was Once Sent Off For Spitting At An Opponent

Pogba isn't a player free of on-field controversy. His most noteworthy incident came towards the end of a victory over Palermo, a game which clinched the 2012/13 Serie A title for Juventus. The Frenchman was slapped by journeyman defender Salvatore Aronica, and responded by spitting in his direction. Pogba was shown a red card, but has avoided similar controversy since. This will be a relief for optimistic City fans who envision the midfielder joining them next season, especially with an up-and-down time with the mercurial striker Mario Balotelli still fresh in the memory.
