Paul Pogba to be left out of Champions League clash.
Manchester United will line up without Paul Pogba for their Champions League clash on Wednesday night.
Reports say Manchester United will line up with a midfield three but there is still no place for the 24-year-old, who loses out to Nemanja Matić, Ander Herrera, and Scott McTominay.
Recent speculation surrounding Pogba have suggested that he is not getting along with José Mourinho.
The Portuguese digged the club’s record signing in recent defeats against Tottenham and Newcastle United, while he did not start in a league win against Huddersfield Town.
Jose Mourinho is playing the 24-year-old out of position as part of a two-man midfield alongside Nemanja Matic instead of his demanded 3 man midfield. With Pogba’s power in that dressing room, Mourinho has got to be very careful. I don’t see the benefit in upsetting one of your star players.
United’s weekend win over the same opponent saw Pogba left out entirely, with Mourinho annoyedly citing a mysterious and sudden injury. The real irony in Pogba’s omission comes with the formation that Mourinho stubbornly likes to use week in week out. Mourinho is only turning to that midfield shape when he is overlooking the €105m man.
