Man Utd fans make Liverpool prediction after key Jose Mourinho decision involving Pogba
MANCHESTER UNITED fans have come up with an intriguing theory about Paul Pogba.
Champions League: Man United arrive ahead of Valencia clash
The Frenchman was restored to the starting line up by Jose Mourinho against Valencia.
United already booked their place in the knockout stages after Marouane Fellaini’s late winner against Young Boys.
Now Red Devils’ fans have come up with an interesting prediction about the 25-year-old.
It was reported before the game that the Portuguese would hand Pogba a start as an audition for their Premier League trip to Liverpool.
Should he perform, he’d keep his place for the visit to Anfield.
Some supporters on Twitter think the opposite though.
“Lol Pogba starting this game because he won't be starting the weekend game against Liverpool. Smart from Mourinho,” one fan tweeted.
Another put: “Pogba starting tonight.......Chances of #pogba starting v Liverpool............ a big fat zero.”
“Wouldn't be shocked if Pogba doesn't start against Liverpool,” another added.
Pogba’s relationship with Mourinho became fractured after a dressing room bust-up in the aftermath of a 1-1 draw with Wolves.
Mourinho then stripped the World Cup winner of the vice-captaincy.
The pair then came to blows in front of the cameras at Carrington training ground.
United: Pogba will be GONE by January claims Paul Ince
The final match of the group stages was Pogba’s first start in three matches.
He had to settle for a place on the bench for the matches against Arsenal and Fulham.
He didn’t make the brightest of starts to the match at the Mestalla and one fan thought it may affect Mourinho’s decision about Sunday.
They tweeted: “Pogba lacking confidence, no way Mourinho is starting him against Liverpool..”
