Paul Pogba says white wristband he wore was in support of Kalidou Koulibaly

Paul Pogba has revealed the white wristband he wore in Manchester United's win over Bournemouth was in tribute to Kalidou Koulibaly, who was subjected to racist taunts and monkey chants in Napoli's match against Inter Milan.

The defender was allegedly subjected to sustained abuse during the club's 1-0 defeat at the San Siro on Boxing Day.

Koulibaly and his manager Carlo Ancelotti were left furious by the monkey chants during the match and the coach asked for the match to be stopped twice.

The central defender, a nominee for African Player of the Year and one of Europe's finest centre-backs, was sent off late in the game for a second yellow card offence when he sarcastically applauded the decision of the referee.
