Man Utd given boost as Pogba returns for Sevilla clash

Jose Mourinho has confirmed Paul Pogba could return to action against Sevilla in their Champions League last-16 first leg tie in Spain on Wednesday.

The Frenchman was omitted for United's FA Cup win over Huddersfield last weekend due to illness. Pogba has been hampered by poor form in recent times, but he'll get a chance to find his rhythm again at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

He added: "I opened the training session today and I opened in a period where we normally don't open. We normally do it in the warming-up and in the first simple drills of the training session, and this time we did it for quite a long time, and in the last period so you could see the players in a competitive situation.

"When a player is in that situation it's because the players are normally ready and without problems, so you could see that in training some people that didn't play against Huddersfield with problems, like Pogba, (Antonio) Valencia, (Marcus) Rashford and (Ander) Herrera, so I think in an objective way you could look at it."
