If Manchester United’s current form wasn’t frightening enough for the Old Trafford faithful, the strange Halloween antics of their world record signing, Paul Pogba, might scare them to death.

Pogba, who we’ve all come to realise is no shrinking violet, released a video on social media of him dressed up as his Halloween alter-ego, 'Pogbunny', dancing and revelling in the holiday cheer.

However, rather predictably, Pogba’s video has become the laughing stock of social media after fans from all over the country seized upon the chance to lay into the underperforming midfielder.

Football fans have taken to Twitter in their droves to make fun of the France international. Here are some of the best responses;

Pogba has failed to impress since re-joining the club for a huge £89million price tag and his behaviour on social media doesn’t seem to be helping the situation with United fans.

The 23-year-old has been criticised for a series of underwhelming performances since coming back to the club from Juventus this summer.

The midfielder has scored three goals in 16 appearances this summer with only one of those coming in the Premier League.

After a lighting start to the season, United haven’t won in four games and currently sit eighth in Premier League trailing eight points behind league leaders Manchester City.
