Paul Pogba being named on the bench is the big news for Manchester United, who otherwise name a strong team.

Jose Mourinho makes just three changes from the side that beat Huddersfield in the FA Cup at the weekend - David de Gea, Antonio Valencia and Ander Herrera come in for Sergio Romero, Luke Shaw and Michael Carrick.

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Valencia, Lindelof, Smalling, Young, Matic, Herrera, McTominay, Mata, Lukaku, Sanchez.

He’s not going to get confidence with his backside on the bench. Players like Paul Pogba, they need loving, literally carrot and the stick. I don’t think he’s been the same since his hamstring injury [in September]. He started to look good early in the season.

Big players and big games show why they are big players. It’s a risk today. Scott McTominay is starting, he's only made eight starts before - it's a big night for him. If United win comfortably, fine, but if they go further, they need Pogba at his very best.

Speaking on Monday's show, long before word had emerged Pogba wouldn't start...

Jose Mourinho doesn’t think Paul Pogba is doing enough. Pogba doesn’t think Mourinho is using him in the way he should, so there’s an issue they will have to sort out.

Then I think Pogba starts working too hard, and trying to do things that don’t naturally come to him.

People want him to be everything. To pass the ball like Sergio Busquets, to create like Kevin de Bruyne, to score like Frank Lampard, to defend like N'Golo Kante. And on top of that be Pogba like he is. He can’t be that.

Listen to Monday's show here.

Hossam Ashraf: No player should be guaranteed a place in the first 11, Pogba needs to focus on football and his performances.

Dave Wood: Usual media hysteria surrounding a United line up

Sho Rahman: Jose playing a midfield 3 and still benching Pogba when he works perfectly in that system? Don't get it.

I think Paul Pogba has lost some confidence. He is a confidence man. He needs to be playing. He needs to be handled a little differently from how he is now. It seems like Jose Mourinho had lost a bit of faith and his confidence is gone. He is someone who needs to be loved.

What do you think of Jose Mourinho's decision to leave Paul Pogba on the bench for one of Manchester United's biggest games of the season?

Paul Pogba has been left out of Manchester United's starting line-up.

The £89m midfielder, whose form has been questioned this season, missed last weekend's game against Huddersfield through illness.

He had been expected to return today, but he is only named on the bench.

After four years away, Manchester United are back in the Champions League knockout stages.

Jose Mourinho is the first manager to lead them to this stage since those fabled David Moyes days.

A time when the centre-back partnership was still Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.
