It's fake.

The mirror fell for a spoof website report, and now all the others are following with the same report.

Just shows how much of a joke our national press is.

Really? My first thinking was; "this is so unbelievable that it must be true"

People need to refer to stories like these when an ITK journalist tries to tell us how bad an influence the likes of Pogba are on the squad.

It’s all guess work in journalism these days.

Can't believe mirror ripped it off that spoof site. Clash might have happened but not as serious as mirror made it sound.

Ffs. This is what I do love about the caf though because posters above have shut it down straight away whereas back in the day I would be bricking it until the starting 11 was announced :lol:

Life as a journalist, not bothering to source check first.

It's such an unbelievable thing to say that it has to be true. But it isn't because Mirror has the same 'collision/clash' headline as the source of the injury similar to the parody account

Even if article is fake it generated 4k plus retweet within an hour . Safe to say they got what they wanted

Just shows you all the shitty media and journo’s are itching for us to fail and any hint of negativity they jump straight on it even if it is a load of wank.

Someone at Manchester United needs to put the fire out. :lol:
They don’t need too. Why give them the attention that they are so desperately seeking by putting that article up in the 1st place without doing your homework to see if it is even remotely possible that it might be true?

Wait till the lineup is announced tomorrow that both Pogba & Fernandes are starting, then they will look like complete mugs for falling for a spoof article.

The fact that it hasn't been immediately shot down and disproved is strange. Maybe there was a knock ,but the Mirror exaggerated

Is this 100% fake?
Not 100%.

But it seems incredibly suspicious that a parody article is written about Bruno and Pogba colliding in training and getting injured, and then a day later the Mirror report that Bruno and Pogba have collided in training and got injured.

Very fishy.
