France manager Didier Deschamps has defended Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba after he was jeered by some sections of the home support during Friday's meeting with Italy.
Les Bleus enjoyed a 3-1 win as they stepped up their preparations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Russia. However, some fans were clearly dissatisfied with the performance of Pogba, who was whistled by parts of the Allianz Riviera crowd as he was withdrawn in the 86th minute.
Deschamps tried to play down the incident, suggesting the stick received was for the whole team and not just the midfielder, per TF1 (h/t Sky Sports).
