Breaking news: Paul pogba sends a message to Harry Maguire after he injured him what a no look defending kick .

 Manchester United midfielder Paul 

Pogba was left fuming with his team-mate

 and captain Harry Maguire after the 

England man accidentally kicked him the

 head, drawing blood from the Frenchman.

United beat relegation-bound Norwich 

3-2 at Old Trafford to keep them in the 

hunt for the top four and Champions League

 football.

Having led 2-0, United were however pegged

 back by Norwich and the tension in the 

ground was palpable.

It appears that tension translated itself onto

 the players, with Pogba appearing angry 

with his captain after Maguire had struck him

 in the head accidentally when jumping for

 the ball at a corner.

The incident happened on the hour mark after Alex Telles had swung the ball in. Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a hat-trick on the day, leapt and met the ball but it was safely gathered by Tim Krul in the Norwich goal.

Jumping with Ronaldo for the ball was Maguire who clumsily fell over an also-leaping Norwich defender.

As he fell down to the ground his right 

leg elevated and caught Pogba on its way 

down on the back of his head.

The midfielder immediately held his head

 in pain before a United medic emerged to 

assess the player. While being assessed it 

was clear that Pogba was not happy, with

 the Frenchman staring angrily into 

the distance.

Prior to the medic coming on, Ronaldo 

had acted as a mediator to try and calm 

Pogba down who was clearly extremely 

frustrated with Maguire. The Portuguese 

was seen putting an arm round Pogba all 

while the French international was motioning 

over to Maguire who had returned to the

 United half.

The incident garnered quite the reaction 

on social media, with Maguire, who has 

endured a difficult season, appearing 

to be the brunt of many of the jokes.

One said: 'Harry Maguire has managed

 to kick Paul Pogba in the head and draw 

blood. Pointing his own players out for 

handball one week, kicking others in the

 head another week.'

Meanwhile various others chose to add 

a wrestling element to the incident, with 

one saying 'Maguire hit Pogba with a scorpion

 kick'.

'Maguire deserves Puskas award for the

 scorpion kick to Pogba,' another added.

However, it was happy families at the end

 of a positive afternoon for Ralf Rangnick's 

side as they claimed three points on an 

afternoon that top four rivals Spurs and 

Arsenal both dropped points.

United are currently fifth having played 

one game more than Arsenal in sixth, three

 points behind Spurs in fourth.
