PAUL POGBA could reportedly have breached Uefa’s Euros coronavirus rules by going into the stands to give away his shirt.
The Manchester United midfielder was a standout in the 2018 World Cup winners’ opening game of the delayed European Championship.
His sublime pass to Lucas Hernandez set up France’s winning goal as Mats Hummels put into his own net.
Pogba’s performance alongside Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante saw him pick up the man of the match award.
The playmaker was so adulated he went into the stands and gave out his shirt in a heartfelt moment.
But according to BeIN Sports, it could land him trouble with Uefa and leave him facing a probe.
It was claimed on air that Pogba may have breached Covid-19 protocols by going into the stands.
And, if Uefa deem that he has, it could lead to punishment for the 28-year-old, who starred in France’s World Cup winning side three years ago.
It was an otherwise flawless performance by the former Juventus man, but he was caught up in a bizarre incident with Antonio Rudiger before half-time.
The Chelsea defender appeared to put his teeth into Pogba’s back, but replays were unable to definitively reveal if he was bitten.

The ITV punditry team argued Pogba’s reaction would indicate Rudiger did not bite him, but left them puzzled by his actions nonetheless.
Roy Keane said: “I think it was more of a nibble than a bite. It wasn’t a proper bite was it? Silly thing to do though, obviously.”
Ian Wright added: ‘”If he’s bitten him there, he’s going to flinch.
“He’s not flinched at all. He’s not flinched there. I don’t know what’s happened there. Can’t see it.”
