Paul Pogba dropped by Jose Mourinho for Huddersfield game

Matthew Gault

The Frenchman is on the bench for the visit of Huddersfield.

Paul Pogba has been dropped by Manchester United. The midfielder started United’s defeat to Tottenham midweek but was hooked after 63 minutes. His poor performance has seemingly cost him now as Jose Mourinho has named him on the bench.

Nemanja Matic retains his place in midfield and will start alongside Scott McTominay. Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku also start while Anthony Martial drops to the bench. Following his own goal against Spurs, Phil Jones is not involved, with Marcos Rojo partnering Chris Smalling in defence.
