PAUL POGBA hit his locker several times before apologizing to his teammates after the red card of the Champions League.
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer then opened his own hair dryer for the first time – in dramatic scenes in the Old Trafford locker room on Tuesday night.

They arrived in the moments following their overwhelming 2-0 defeat at home against Paris Saint-Germain, putting an end to their dreams of the euro.
Superstar Pogba was sent off in the 89th minute for a second yellow and missed the March 6th return to Paris.
But Solskjaer was more concerned about how his team lost his temper, as his ten wins and one draw ended. And he let his players tear up on Tuesday night.
A source from United said: "Ole told them that they had tried to play the match as if it were a tie to a foot. He told them to stay patient and not to concede easy goals.

"And then they went and conceded from a relatively easy set-set and everything came down from there."
United now has a mountain to climb, especially without Pogba, who is banned for the second leg, and the World Cup winner was furious with himself.

The source said: "Pogba was helpless and he apologized to all his teammates.
"He had the impression of having dropped them and he is now defeated to have missed the first leg. He hit his locker angrily several times.
This is the first time United players have felt the pain of defeat since Liverpool's 3-1 defeat on Dec. 16, ultimately leading to Jose Mourinho's dismissal.
But Solskjaer gave his players a message of hope for the second leg.
United's source said, "The players were so deflated after the match. They did not feel so bad since Mourinho was in charge.
"Ole tried to keep them optimistic for the second leg. He told them that they should stay positive, because anything can happen in football. "
