Paul Pogba takes his penalty against Southampton

Paul Pogba joined Romelu Lukaku in dismissing reports of a row between the two after Manchester United's win over Southampton, calling the claims "funny".

Lukaku had struck twice to help give United a 3-2 lead at Old Trafford on Saturday when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side were awarded a late penalty.

Pogba stepped up to take the spot-kick, rather than allowing Lukaku the chance to seal a hat-trick, and the France midfielder saw his effort saved by Southampton goalkeeper Angus Gunn.

A report in British newspaper The Sun, which quoted an unnamed United source, claimed Pogba and Lukaku had a row over the penalty following the match and needed to be calmed down by Solskjaer.

"When the hate don't work they start telling lies," came an apparent response from Lukaku on Twitter, and Pogba has followed suit.

Posting to his Instagram account, Pogba wrote: "When the hate don't work they start telling lies... Hahahahaha people are too funny bro."

Pogba and Lukaku have long been considered close friends, with the pair even holidaying together when in 2017, just prior to the Belgian joining United from Everton.

Lukaku is expected to start for United in Wednesday's Champions League last-16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain, but Pogba is suspended after being sent off against the Parisians in the 2-0 Old Trafford defeat last month

Coutinho: You never know what the future holds

Coutinho: You never know what the future holds Philippe Coutinho admitted his future may lie away from Barcelona after starring and scoring in a 5-1 victory over Lyon in the Champions League last 16. Coutinho doubled the lead on Wednesday after Lionel Messi opened the scoring at Camp Nou as Barca reached the quarter-finals following a scoreless first leg away to Lyon last month. The Brazilian playmaker finished a slick move involving compatriot Arthur and former Liverpool team-mate Luis Suarez just after the half-hour mark, as Messi's double and goals from Gerard Pique and substitute Ousmane Dembele clinched a resounding victory. Coutinho has struggled for form and consistency since his €142million arrival from Liverpool in January last year, prompting speculation of a move away and a return to the Premier League. The Brazil international admitted his form has been below his own expectations as he refused to rule out an exit from the LaLiga champions. "...
