Paul Pogba was hauled off by Jose Mourinho this afternoon as Manchester United suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of Newcastle at St James' Park.
The 24-year-old, who struggled to gain any momentum during the game, was eventually replaced by Michael Carrick in the 66th minute.
And just seconds after he sat down, Sky Sports cameras panned over to a devastated Pogba.
His face said it all. In a surreal few seconds, Pogba didn't even blink and was seen just starring into the abyss as Newcastle looked comfortable in seeing out their lead.
