Pogba collided with Wolves star Neves in the build-up to Mason Greenwood’s winner at Molineux.
The 1-0 win proved to be a historic one for the visitors, who set a record for the longest Premier League away unbeaten run. However, the incident leading up to the strike has stolen the headlines.
Pogba appeared to have his right stud showing and his foot collided with Neves, who was attempting a pass.
The incident received such a big spotlight because Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka received a straight red card for a similar challenge on Manchester City’s Joao Cancelo on Saturday.
However, Mike Dean did not take any action on Pogba’s tackle this time around. Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, though, Souness slammed the France international and the referee, calling the challenge a “leg-breaker”.
“The referee is there to referee the game, he’s two metres away. Whether Neves goes down or doesn’t go down – that is immaterial,” the pundit said.

“That is a leg breaker. Look how close the referee is, that’s a leg breaker.

“Any player who has ever played the game, he’s standing two yards away from it, they will tell you that’s a dangerous challenge.

“That referee has deemed that not a foul. That is impossible for anyone who knows anything about football to say that’s not a foul.”
However, Pogba took Souness on in his own interview after the match.
“I didn’t touch him,” Pogba said. “This is the Premier League, it was a 50-50, every weekend that is happening.

“We win the ball and we scored.”
Both sides head into the first international break of the season fourth and 18th, respectively, in the Premier League table.
