An early injury to Ander Herrera handed Paul Pogba a reprieve after he was dropped for Manchester United's Champions League round of 16 first-leg clash with Sevilla.
Herrera had been struggling in recent weeks with a muscle injury and then appeared to pick up an innocuous-looking foot injury 17 minutes into Wednesday's game at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, allowing Pogba the chance to get involved having previously been left on the bench in something of a shock decision made by Jose Mourinho.
Pogba's form has dipped of late and has reportedly seen his relationship with Mourinho become strained as a result.
