Paul Pogba was cornered by angry fans and had a plate thrown at him after refusing to sign an autograph in a curry house.

According to The Sun, a group of United fans accused the Frenchman of ‘disrespecting them' by refusing to sign a name on a token.

Camera phone footage showed two of the supporters squaring up to the world record signing as friends and staff held him back.

One onlooker said: "The row escalated very quickly and it looked like there was going to be punches thrown.

"The lads were furious that Pogba had the nerve to say no to their request for an autograph."

The poor entitled things, how dare Pogba just want to enjoy his meal.

The guest added: "But Pogba was enjoying a quiet meal with friends and felt uncomfortable with the attention.

"They were desperately trying to square up to him and it could easily have turned physical if it weren't for the staff and their pals holding them back.

"As the world's most expensive footballer, he's an easy target for lads trying to show off like that. He dealt with it very well."

Officers were eventually called to Akhbar's curry house.

A Greater Manchester Police statement said: "Officers were called to reports of a disturbance in a restaurant in Liverpool Road, Manchester, just after 11.40pm on Monday, February 20.

"When an officer called back, the line got cut off. When the officer did get through, the people involved in the disturbance had already dispersed.

"No further complaints were made after that."
