Pogba problems continues with illness

Paul Pogba has been ruled out of Manchester United’s FA Cup fifth round trip to Huddersfield Town on Saturday due to illness.

The Red Devils midfielder will be denied the opportunity to play his way back into form during an FA Cup fifth round clash with Huddersfield.

Paul Pogba will not get the opportunity to offer a serious response to his critics in Manchester United’s FA Cup clash with Huddersfield after being ruled out through illness. Much of the build-up to the match from United’s perspective was dominated by Pogba, with Jose Mourinho strongly refuting recent claims that he and the Frenchman had fallen out.

Has Pogba really fallen out with Mourinho? Is a summer transfer request imminent? Only time will tell. 

Pogba has struggled to find his best form of late, something Mourinho has acknowledged, but the Portuguese coach slammed comments about their apparently fractious relationship as “lies”.

Jose Mourinho had stated at a pre-match press conference on Friday that the ÂŁ89 million midfielder would start Saturday’s fifth-round meeting with the Terriers.

A club statement read: “Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba will miss the Emirates FA Cup tie at Huddersfield Town due to illness and, as a result, Academy prospect Ethan Hamilton has taken his place in the squad.”

The news will likely fuel reports of Pogba and Mourinho’s uneasy relationship, particularly given the manager’s rant in Friday’s news conference.

No news about Pogba’s chances of featuring against Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in the Champions League round of 16 first leg on Wednesday.
