Good decision. He needs to wisen up and Mourinho is sending him a message loud and clear.
Resting him for Chelsea?
As much as it's concerning, his performance against Newcastle was a disgrace.
Lampard gets it but our own fans don’t
Not the end of the world people...
Bizarre if he isn’t ill. Annoying to have him miss so much of the season.
You think Lampard knows better than the collective wisdom of the Caf?
I love how this thread is always busy. I meant last season people complain about Pogba being undroppable citing him not doing as their expectation (he was still good). Now he has been bad form and gets dropped for the time being, all kind of reaction being pushed out
Depressing having one of the best midfielders in the world on the bench and a lad who is championship level and only anywhere near the club because of our youth policy starting.
What’s all the fuss? He refused to defend in the spurs game and showed piss poor attitude in the Newcastle game. He’s throwing a fit and Mourinho is having none of it.
There is no excuse for these kind of decisions anymore.
I think there is not one on this board that rate and support Jose more than me, but there is absolutely no excuse for this whole Pogba saga.
You don't buy the worlds most expensive player and don't let him do and play where he want's, I would rather all sell all of our players then loose Pogba again.
This is why we need a director of football to overrule decisions like this. That midfield we put out tonight is downright awful.
We can't keep operating like this, first with the Di Maria fiasco and now this.

Maybe he’s still sick?
Except Pogba hasn't played like that in recent weeks and McTominay (in the matches I've seen anyway) does a job, if not a spectacular one.

Horrendous post mate.

Yeah, he probably got lost on the way to the hospital and ended up on the bench.
Man I dreamed about the days players like Di Mara and Pogba played for United, yet they seem to find a way to the bench.
It's annoying that we keep having problems with every big signing we make.
Biggest game of our season so far and our best player gets dropped. Absolute state of this club.
This
Ok, fine if you think so. Of all the big clubs in Europe only we make a complete and utter shambles of our record signings.
I can only think of Di Maria but he was robbed so.
That's something Moyes would do. He didn't know where to play Mata. So just stick him in there cause he's good and expensive.
As I said this's Mourinho way to man manage his players. People can agree or disagree with it but that has always been his way. Several other players we had passed through this period already, Martial on top of them.
We could sign Messi and Ronaldo and still find a way to put them on the bench.
It’s not the end of the world. If anything, it’s Pogbas own fault and it feels great to have a brave enough manager again to make such a call in our most important game so far. Pogba will eventually learn from this.
Pogba has been our best player and the player in our team with the highest ceiling, we can't afford losing him.
We can't restart our rebuild because if we lose Pogba in this market we are fecked.
That's it, everyone asked for 4-3-3 because they thought that formation would get best out of Pogba, Mourinho provides it but all of sudden, he benched Pogba for Mctominay and everyone getting pissed off over this.
Resting him for a league thats already over and a top 4 that’s basically secured VS a tough champions league away knock out fixture???

Y"all call Football pundits idiots everyday on here. Do not act like their word is gospel on here.
yes I remember being gutted when veron didn't work out
It's not a punishment. What don't people get...with Sanchez arrival, we need 2 holding midfielders especially in tough away games and Pogba isn't suddenly going to turn out defensively. He will play the return leg.
Let's not make sweeping statements. There are daft pundits, and then there are good ones. Doesn't take much to differentiate between the two.
On my phone so it migh've been mentioned without me seeing it.
But let's not conveniently forget Pogba was going to start against Huddersfield. Mourinho said he would play #8 left side in a midfield three in the press conference on forehand. But then on matchday Pogba was suddenly ill.
So he would've started against Huddersfield, then fell ill. Why would there be a conspiracy or why would Mourinho be trying to teach him a lesson? Much more likely that he's not been feeling or training 100%.

Martial is still in limbo it seems.
2 maybe. But 3? No.
Anyone thinking that this isnt a sign of problems between manager and player is delusional. I reckon this is a test from Mourinho and Pogba will either step up to meet his expectations or he'll be sat on that bench more often than he thinks.
A DOF doesn’t get to choose the starting 11.
