An unspecified illness saw Pogba withdraw on the morning of Saturday's match in Huddersfield, which United won 2-0 thanks to two goals from Romelu Lukaku as they advanced into the quarter-finals. "I don't know," said Mourinho when asked about the nature of Pogba's illness after Saturday's match. Pogba has reportedly been unhappy in recent weeks at the style Mourinho has adopted, generally playing him alongside Nemanja Matic in a two-man midfield. But ahead of Saturday's match, Mourinho appeared prepared to meet the wishes of Pogba, who rejoined United from Juventus for £89.3 million ($123.5 million, 100.5 million euros) in August 2016, by playing him on the left side of a three-man midfield set-up. - 'Emotion killed' -"It was my first experience on the bench but we have VAR in Portugal," said Mourinho.
