Reports: Pogba to start on the bench against Sevilla

English publication 'The Daily Mail' reports that the French international will return to the squad against the Andalusians, having missed the FA Cup win over Huddersfield at the weekend through illness, but that he will be made to do with a place on the bench.

Pogba has yet to complete 90 minutes in a game this month following a number of disappointing performances, but his manager has repeatedly come to his defence, as he did again on Tuesday when he told the press that he felt Pogba was being unfairly judged because of the fee United paid for him.

The aformentioned source claims that the 24-year-old has barely missed a training session since dropping out of the Huddersfield game, meaning that his omission is a tactical decision from Mourinho.

The Portuguese had previously suggested that Pogba would be fit enough to play in his pre-match press conference, but should the reports of a snub prove to be correct it will no doubt set tongues wagging once again.
