You think Pogba will be the winner?!
Manager >>>>> any other player - esp when it's a strong manager like Jose (SAF, etc)
Jose and man management. Sigh.
Jose with bad man management..
Only if he delivers on the pitch, which is debatable atm.
Pogone?
It might be premature to say this but if he is really on the bench, I don't see how this relationship will be fixed.
Looks like Jose is laying down the law. As long as he eventually brings him back to the fold and play him where he should.. It's all gravy.
Really? Take our current United position in the league and literally inject into any other season (this season Man City have raised the bar beyond belief) - we would be there or thereabouts. Even that isn't good enough?!
There's nothing. He's probably treated like Martial last season, benched till he finds his form and start working again. Martial didn't leave and Pogba neither. If Pogba is professional enough he'll take this period as a means to fight even harder to reclaim as his place like Martial previously did. This's Mourinho way of managing his players, whatever we agree or disagree with it, tough love it's.
Premature to say that. Pogba might not be 100% fit as was expected or Jose could have convinced Pogba that he will come in 2nd half which is some kind of tactic he wants to use for the day.
There could be many normal reasons also.
Not everything needs to be contriversial
Its much easier to get rid of one person than of 7-8. Players like Martial, Lingard, Shaw, and few others will back pogba to the hilt imo.
I really hope that if Pogba is not starting it is because he is not fully fit.
It was pretty obvious to me that Pogba wasn't 'ill' for huddersfield. After everything that's gone on lately it was too much of a coincidence. If he's not starting tonight then its proof. Worrying times if so...
Yeah Jose already lost 2 battles against players in Madrid and Chelsea.
And Florentino actually really likes Jose and he still sacked him.
Jose should offload him in the summer, if he has no intention of playing to pogba’s strengths. I cannot understand why he bought him in the first place.
I think Mourinho’s inability to recognise what is now required of midfielders at the top clubs will prevent him from achieving anything significant. He puts way to much emphasis on height and physicality and if he plays a champions league game with no creativity in midfield it is embarrassing.

No. There is nothing to suggest that Jose has lost the confidence of majority of the squad.
When that happens, obviously manager gets thrown out
Well hopefully its nothing but at the same time it could be everything.
Oh nooo, Pogba might be on the bench, they hate each other, he is leaving, sack Jose, meltdown...End of the world, my God, Internet generation, know it all football Einsteins, f*****ng drama queens. 
Yeah. I know. Im just saying if its a toss up between Jose and Pogba, in my opinion Pogba survives. Of course I could be wrong but we all know player power these days.
IF and its a big IF Mourinho has fallen out with Pogba I would rather Mourinho leaves to be honest. You only have to look at the league and see De Bruyne and Salah and to a degree Lukaku tearing it up to realise Mourinho is way to impatient with players with outstanding potential. Pogba is good enough to have the team built around him, you just know Pogba under Pep would be amazing.
Could be Mourinho doesn't believe he was really sick.
Maybe this is just Jose needing a little a victory before he plays him in his correct position.
This is not the type of game to be proving points to players. We need him tonight
Yeah because football has always only been about 90mins on the pitch.Oh nooo, Pogba might be on the bench, they hate each other, he is leaving, sack Jose, meltdown...End of the world, my God, Internet generation, know it all football Einsteins, f*****ng drama queens.
Was your head in sand when Beckham, Rooney, etc were in stands during SAF tenure?
What about when RVP and Ronaldo had their bust-up - was it all just 'crappy paper talk'.
Or Keane vs SAF / the rest of the squad.
Wow you come across as very very naive IMO.

Of course the relationship can take a hit if he's benched in a CL knock out tie. He's a 90 million pound signing, this can obviously hit him hard.
Yup also helps keep face in front of the squad and retain an air of authority.
We could easily finish out of the top 4, notice I said IF he delivers on the pitch
Severe overreaction to him (potentially) being dropped.
It's a Mourinho away match for a start (discipline/compactness > expression) and it's not like he's fecking known for 'big game' competitiveness.
Still, he'll probably come on and smack a couple of shots off the upright for some kudos.

For the record, Salah did not have outstanding potential.
Take away the irrational fear that his omission might mean he’s going to leave/fall out with the manager and consider if his current form genuinely merits a place in the first XI.
This is not good. Hopefully whatever differences there are they are resolved soon. Both are too important to our immediate and long term future.
Yeah Pogba has no experience playing in big matches in the CL KO stages.
A move that can only really be judged in hindsight and even then, probably too much will be read into it one way or the other.
Not what I said, is it?
That would be pretty worrying. I mean we did sign him for 90 odd million. You'd expect him to start almost every game if he's available.
If this is true, it won't end in a pretty way.
That's the only thing that is clear at the moment!
