Manchester United will sorely miss their midfield trio

There can be a multi-layered argument on Pogba’s price tag and whether he is worth it or not. But, there is no denying the fact that Manchester United will miss Pogba dearly for the Wednesday night fixture.

The fluidity of United’s midfield was completely hampered by Pogba's absence and it was evident against Southampton. Even Matic had his first subdued game in a red jersey against the Saints and it may not be a coincidence altogether.

To make things worse, Fellaini and Carrick have also been ruled out of this Champions League fixture. United's midfield looks worryingly depleted for this crucial tie.
