Man United fans react to the news Ethan Hamilton will replace Paul Pogba for Huddersfield game

So there you have it, folks: Paul Pogba is OUT of Manchester United's FA Cup fifth round tie at Huddersfield on Saturday.

The French midfielder, who has absolutely, definitely, 100% *not* fallen out with Jose Mourinho, is said to miss the game through illness... or, as many people hearing the news are suggesting, 'illness'. Anyhow, enough about Pogba. Let's talk about the man who's set to replace him, Ethan Hamilton. 19-year-old Ethan Hamilton has stepped up to the United first team for the trip over the M62. Usually part of the Under 23s squad, the Scot joined United three years ago from Edinburgh-based youth team, Hutchison Vale - the same club Darren Fletcher used to represent. Although he's played most of his football in the middle, United's official website also points out that Hamilton can operate as a wingback. Naturally, many United fans aren't too familiar with the player just yet, as was evident from the reaction to his inclusion in the first team squad on Saturday afternoon. https://twitter.com/writtenoff_mufc/status/964838532853501952 https://twitter.com/ElieYaghi/status/964833394076069889 https://twitter.com/ChinoTrino/status/964847912944627713 https://twitter.com/rramsey91/status/964843829152178179 https://twitter.com/ffslukaaku/status/964831724612894720 https://twitter.com/ForeverUTD99/status/964839730113327105 https://twitter.com/SmnLlyd5/status/964834539993468928
