MANCHESTER, England — Buried in his bulky, hooded Manchester United jacket, Paul Pogba slumped in a seat in the dugout and stared into space with a blank look on his face. United needed a saviour from somewhere but that wasn’t going to be Pogba, its record signing and most recognizable player. Other reports said Pogba was irritated at having to play in a deeper position in midfield. “If you are going to play in midfield, you should be able to play in a two or a three,” former United captain Roy Keane said about Pogba, in his role as a TV pundit. Mourinho said Pogba will play against Huddersfield for what could prove to be an intriguing test of character for a player in the spotlight.
