Michail Antonio caught on camera poking fun at Pogba's handball; Man United star furious

Manchester United star Paul Pogba was left fuming after West Ham striker Michail Antonio was caught on camera poking fun at the Pogba handball.

He also scored from the penalty spot to put them in front at Old Trafford this week. Man United equalised later through Mason Greenwood, and the Man United vs West Ham result moved the Red Devils to third in the Premier League standings.

The resultant penalty was comfortably tucked in by Michail Antonio, who equalled Raheem Sterling for most goals post-lockdown. Michail Antonio wasn't done yet and was captured mocking the Pogba handball incident before the restart.

The 2018 World Cup winner was far from pleased with the West Ham striker's antics and looked on furiously waiting for the game to resume.

The Man United vs West Ham result, followed by fellow Champions League chasers Chelsea's loss to Liverpool meant that Solskjaer's remained third in the Premier League standings before their Matchday 38 trip to the King Power. Leicester City are themselves in contention for a place in the Champions League and are only a point off Man United and Chelsea. A win/draw against Man United coupled with a defeat for the Blues would mean that Brendan Rodgers' side will play Champions League football next season. A defeat could see them lose out on a place in the top four but they can still qualify for the UCL if the Red Devils win the Europa League.
