Paul Pogba blasted Alexis Sanchez during Manchester United's defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

Eden Hazard's first-half penalty sealed a 1-0 victory for Antonio Conte and Chelsea, leaving Jose Mourinho and United without a trophy for the season.

United struggled to break down Chelsea's compact defence during open play, and their best chance to equalise came late in the second half as an unmarked Pogba was unable to direct his header on goal from a corner.

Mourinho's men were frustrated in their efforts to pick apart Chelsea at Wembley, and tensions between Pogba and Sanchez boiled over in the second half.

In the biggest flashpoint, Sanchez received a pass from Pogba and had to chance to give it back to the France international straight away.

But the Chilean took too long in possession after being quickly closed down by Cesar Azpilicueta.

Sanchez eventually managed to play the ball back to Pogba, but the pass lacked pace and was close to being intercepted by Cesc Fabregas.

Pogba managed to fend off the Chelsea midfielder and played the ball back to Phil Jones.

And after passing back to the United defender, the France international immediately turned towards Sanchez and angrily shouted at the Chilean.

The pair continued to argue as United switched play, while Pogba continued to glare at Sanchez after he had turned his back.
