Manchester United will play the last group stage game of Champions League at Old Trafford today. The English club will be hosting CSKA Moscow.
United manager Jose Mourinho revealed that Paul Pogba will definitely play today, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marouane Fellaini and Nemanja Matic won’t feature.
“I can make a surprise today and the one that is unavailable, he plays,” said Mourinho.
We are likely to see Henrikh Mkhitaryan play again, as he too was missing in the starting XI in the recent games, but played against CSKA in Moscow.
Mourinho also remarked they were not thinking about the upcoming derby with Manchester City on Sunday, but were fully focused on today’s game.
This match is indeed important for Manchester United, as a win will get them qualification for the play-off. Currently United are top of their Group A with 12 points, and the second-placed FC Basel has earned 9 points so far.
