Marcus Rashford: Pogba will be ‘massive miss’ for United

Marcus Rashford believes injured Paul Pogba will be a “massive miss” for Manchester United despite the strength in depth at Jose Mourinho’s disposal.

Old Trafford welcomed Champions League football for the first time in 657 days on Tuesday evening, when Romelu Lukaku and Rashford wrapped up a 3-0 victory against Basle following Marouane Fellaini’s first-half header. The Belgium midfielder, back from a calf injury, was brought off the bench just 19 minutes into the Group A opener after Pogba’s night was abruptly halted during an innocuous passage of play.

Having led United out as captain for the first time, a night that started as one to remember swiftly unravelled as the 24-year-old pulled up holding his hamstring after going into a challenge.
