Paul Pogba to return to Man United team for Champions League game against Sevilla

The right decision?

Robert Redmond

Paul Pogba is set to return to Manchester United’s starting line-up for Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Sevilla.

United host the Spanish side at Old Trafford in the second-leg of their last-16 tie, with it all to play for following the goalless draw in Seville two weeks ago. For what is arguably their biggest game of the season, Jose Mourinho looks set to bring his most famous player back into the team.

Paul Pogba missed United’s 2-1 win over Liverpool on Saturday through injury, and he wasn’t missed. Marcus Rashford came into the side and scored twice, while Scott McTominay played well alongside Nemanja Matic in midfield.

However, Jose will reportedly change a winning team.

According to The Independent’s Miguel Delaney, Pogba will replace McTominay in midfield for the match against Sevilla, the only change from the win over Liverpool.

So, if Pogba is the only change for the game, this is how United will line-out:

David de Gea; Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling, Ashley Young; Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata, Alexis Sanchez, Marcus Rashford; Romelu Lukaku.
