Terrace Talk: Pogba sick leave brings summer soap opera forward

When it came to memorable sights, United fans were spoiled for choice on Saturday at Huddersfield. 

How about Lukaku’s thrusting, and cleanly-struck double, showing what can be done when you give him the kind of lummox-leading through-balls he craves? Or the ballsy eight-year-old kid mounting a pitch invasion - and being rescued by a United player? Or the comical sight of VAR in operation, which is promising to be the most disastrous additions to football since Phil Neville took up punditry.

One then wonders what the supposedly “ill” Paul Pogba must’ve made of it all, as he sat at home nursing his in-no-way-imaginary malady. Pleased for the boys as they fought their way through to the quarters, or quietly worried that they did well enough without him?
