Paul Pogba is adamant he did not touch Ruben Neves after a full-blooded tackle left the Wolves midfielder in a heap – only for Manchester United to net what proved to be the winner moments later. The Red Devils set a new Premier League record for away wins following their edgy 1-0 triumph at Molineux, courtesy of Mason Greenwood’s late strike.

Yet Wolves feel the goal should have been ruled out after Pogba appeared to catch Neves during their thunderous coming together.

Neves appeared to get to the ball first, kicking it off and under the onrushing Frenchman, who launched himself into the challenge.

The Portuguese international then took two steps before hitting the deck, shortly after his clearance found a United player.

Raphael Varane then laid in Greenwood, who managed to squeeze the ball under Jose Sa from a wide angle.

“It’s a 50-50, every weekend it happens and today it was like a question?

“If it was a foul, it would have been a foul but it wasn’t, it was a 50-50.

“We win the ball and we score. I don’t see it, I need to see it again but I don’t touch him.”

Neves has now explained his side of the story and he believes Wolves were hard done by, by the officials.

“Everyone saw it, everyone saw my leg, we always do meetings and everything with referees about VAR, I don’t know why,” Neves said.

“They said before the season started they will look for contact – if the contact is strong enough, they will give the foul. I showed them my leg.

“I think maybe because last game it was a foul before the Southampton goal, maybe now they did the opposite. I showed my leg to the ref, I showed to the assistant ref, I cannot say anything more.

“After the game he said ‘you both go to the ball’ and I said ‘yes, we both go to win the ball but I was the one who touched the ball’. It’s a foul, a clear foul.
