Manchester United fans were left fuming at Jonjo Shelvey after the Newcastle midfielders horrendous tackle on Paul Pogba left the French midfielder limping away from St James Park and onto the team bus.

The former Liverpool midfielder put a cynical high foot into the back of Pogbas leg midway through the second half, leaving him sprawled on the ground.

While he was able to continue – and even got a bit of on-field revenge by scything down the England international just minutes later – Pogba hobbled onto the team bus and the club will have to monitor his fitness.

Pogba cheekily tweeted a picture of the pair, with stud marks clearly showing down the back of his leg and captioned the snap: Great win to start 2019 …caption this …

Remarkably, Shelvey wasnt even booked for the challenge and Manchester United fans called on the FA to investigate the incident so that he gets a retrospective ban.

See @FA need to look into that Shelvey tackle because he should have been sent off
