Pogba gets Twitter emoji on his boots
The backlash toward Paul Pogba's personal Twitter emoji has clearly had no effect on the ostentatious Frenchman.
The midfielder received plenty of criticism when he launched the emoji hours before his team's 1-1 draw with Liverpool last month, a game where giving away a penalty was his only real contribution.
However, that has not stopped him taking things a step further, as he got the image printed on his adidas boots for Sunday's game at the King Power Stadium.

Mata lucky to stay on the pitch?
It was a frantic start to the game with a couple of feisty challenges setting the scene early on.
Juan Mata nearly took it too far, however, as he sent Jamie Vardy spinning with a reckless, and very late, challenge.
The Spaniard escaped with just a yellow but fans were quick to take to Twitter to question the decision.
Sky pundit Jamie Carragher thought referee Anthony Taylor had ultimately made the correct call.
'I think it is an orange, I don’t think it is quite a red,' he said at half-time. 'You may have seen things not as bad as that this season that may have been red card but I don’t think that’s a red card. I think the right decision, a yellow card.'

Zlatan makes history 
Zlatan Ibrahimovic continues to make those who doubted if he could 'do it in the Premier League' look rather foolish.
The Swede scored his 20th goal of the season with a crisp first time-shot into the bottom corner minutes before half-time.
It was his 15th in the Premier League this season, making the 35-year-old the oldest player to reach the milestone in history.
It also marked the 10th consecutive season in which Ibrahimovic has reached 20 goals for a campaign. He becomes the first United player to do so since Robin van Persie.

Lineker concedes defeat 
Leicester fan Gary Lineker kept supporters entertained with his social media activity throughout the Foxes incredible title scalp last season.
And the former England striker was still able to see the funny side as he watched his team get brushed aside by Jose Mourinho's men.
'Can't see us winning the league now,' he jokingly tweeted as Mata sent a third past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

Sir Alex enjoys the show 
Sir Alex Ferguson has watched his old club struggle since his retirement three years ago but the managerial great was all smiles as he got a taste of the better times that could be about to come.
United are in the midst of their best spell in recent years with Sunday's result making it just one defeat in their last 21 outings.
And Sir Alex had the best seat in the house for this latest scalp.

United fans taunt the champions
The stands began to empty with 10 mins left of the Premier League encounter, with Foxes fans clearly unimpressed with their team's lack of fight.
United supporters, on the other hand, were in full voice, taunting the champions with chants of 'you're going down'.
Leicester still haven't scored a Premier League goal in 2017 and sit just one point above the relegation zone.
