David Silva gave the hosts the lead 12 minutes with Sergio Aguero doubling the lead soon after play restarted for the second half. Mourinho admitted that Pogba’s absence was to the detriment of the team, with Marouane Fellaini - who was not 100 per cent fit - taking the World Cup winner’s place. “It is not for me, after a defeat, to speak about a player who was not here [Pogba],” Mourinho said after the game.
