MARK NOBLE has revealed his son was desperate to meet Paul Pogba… before and after their mad confrontation.
The Hammers skipper, 31, got up close and personal with Pogba when the pair clashed three minutes from the end of Thursday’s 0-0 draw.
But Noble revealed after the game son Lenny was taking a photo with the United star, proving where his loyalty lies.
Noble revealed: “The funny thing is that my son Lenny asked me if he could walk out with me before the game as he really wanted to see Pogba.
“Then when I came out of the dressing room after the game, Lenny was having a photo with him, so I know where his loyalties lie!
“I am one of Pogba’s biggest fans. He gets more criticism than he deserves.
“He’s at one of the biggest clubs in the world and is under a lot of pressure.
“But sometimes I think we should embrace players like that when they’re in the Premier League, rather than criticise them.

“You can tell he really wants to do well and he’s a top, top player. I just wanted to get close to him and tell him how good he is!
“At the end I wished him the best of luck in the FA Cup final and at the World Cup in the summer.”
