The only reason not to play Pogba would be a tactical choice to try and feck José up by beating him at his own game i.e. two defensively strong, deep midfielders and a load of rapid forwards to hit them on the counter. Even then, if Pogba is up for the game he can play that role and his long passing would be a great asset.

I love McTominay but he's not starting ahead of Pogba in this situation for me. Not until Pogba has had a chance to show whether he's up for the fight or not.

Thought I’d post this, as if it had said something else, we would have said ‘there’s no way he’s speaking without Pogba’s consent’, or he’s Pogba’s ‘mouthpiece’. Januzaj, in his own words, is a close friend and both families are close.
