Pogba said via GOAL:

"We're friends. This was nothing big. I think you saw the TV pictures, this is all over, this belongs to the past.

"I'm not crying for yellow or red cards for such actions. He nibbled, I think, a little bit on me.

"We've known each other for a long time.

"I felt it, I told the referee, he takes the decisions and he took the decision. He hasn't received any card and I think it's better like this. I don't want him to be suspended because of this."
