Twitter explodes as Paul Pogba is left out of the starting XI in the Champions League

Manchester United take on Sevilla in the round of 16 knockout tie in the Champions League tonight with Jose Mourinho's selections raising quite a few eyebrows.

Sevilla has often handed huge setbacks to teams from England's top flight in the recent past. Their latest victims were Liverpool who were dragged back to even pegging despite going three up against the side from Spain, refreshing the painful wounds of the Merseyside club who had similarly lost the Europa League Final to the side from Seville.

Jose Mourinho has only further raised doubts for the Red Devils as he has decided to bench both Frenchman, Paul Pogba and Antony Martial in the away leg of the round of 16 clash.

Needless to say, twitter went bonkers.

Honestly there was no point buying Sanchez if you’re going to ruin arguably our best player of the season (Martial) and make Pogba, one of our only world class players, feel like he’s not a pivotal part of this side. Without both we are a medicore team. #mufc

The amount of over-reactions to Pogba being a substitute, on our TL: "he's gone in the summer" 😂He was ill for the last game and is obviously not fit enough to start this game.People trying too hard to force a Pogba-Mourinho rift narrative.

Jose Mourinho finally using the 4-3-3 but not picking Paul Pogba in it is pretty strong work. A man who draws his own battle lines.

No Pogba? 😬Well, whatever happens tonight, at least we won’t be bringing on Nick Powell in an attempt to stay in the Champions League.

No Martial, no Pogba, no Lingard and no Shaw on the bench. Goodbye width, goodbye mobility. https://t.co/wixtqcwFxE

And fans really are torn between who's right and what's wrong:

If Pogba is dropped for McTominay it's like dropping Messi for Nathan Redmond. Plain odd#MUFC

Paul Pogba is not inform. He played terribly against Spurs, was dropped for Huddersfield, then returned to play shite against Newcastle and was dropped again to Huddersfield.Sir Alex Ferguson: “You gotta be able to make decisions that are unpopular, but know that you’re right.”
