PAUL POGBA had a north-west derby to forget on Sunday after his needless handball gifted Liverpool the lead through a James Milner penalty.
The £89million summer signing awkwardly jumped and spun around with Liverpool’s Dejan Lovren and hit the ball with his arm.
Pogba could have then been sent off moments later after effectively wrestling Jordan Henderson to the ground.
And his embarrassment was made worse as graphics of his newly-released emoji were splattered across advertising boards all around Old Trafford.
Things got even worse for the world's most expensive player with his latest clothing release with Adidas coming out just a day after his terrible performance.
And that could be part of the reason he is struggling to live up to his mammoth transfer fee.
A major part of being the subject of the biggest transfer in history is being the face of many commercial ventures for the club and sponsors.

Numerous photoshoots, adverts and launches for the likes of Adidas take up time for the former Juventus star.
Even the long-awaited announcement of his arrival at Old Trafford came with an Adidas release and the midfielder dancing to a song by UK rapper Stormzy.
Monday's release was no different with a tune by MHD and just days before the Pogba Twitter emoji was announced.
Pogba even had the new 'PP' logo shaven into his head - which is the sixth hairstyle this season for a midfielder who has only scored six goals.
Although Pogba has struggled to make an impact against the bigger teams, he did play a big part in United's six-game winning streak.
And Pogba has been extremely effective with Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic - a man who knows what it is like to have the pressure of sponsors and the media on him.
United's top scorer - who got his 19th of the season with the equaliser against Liverpool - defended his team-mate and believes Pogba will be able to handle the constant attention.
Ibrahimovic said: "I think football is like that today.
"When I started to play football there was no social media, none of these things. But it’s part of the game now. What is too much? We don’t know.
"Paul belongs at the top absolutely and the pressure will be there. I think he likes it because, without pressure, we would not be on our toes.
"If you want to play at the top, pressure is 24 hours. If you play well, it becomes even greater. It’s something that we learn from and have to handle.
"The pressure I have all around me is nothing compared to the pressure I put on myself.
"Your pressure (from the media) becomes like a kindergarten for me."
