What surprises will the Champions League have in store for us this week?

#1 The on-going Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba saga

West Ham United v Manchester United - Premier League
Will Pogba and Mourinho be able to focus on the task in hand on Tuesday night?

It is literally impossible to pick up a newspaper in England right now and not be confronted with headlines about Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba.

The high-profile spat between the two Manchester United stars has dominated the football conversation in England over the last week, and with United hosting Valencia in the Champions League this Tuesday night, it seems unlikely it is going to go away anytime soon.

United's horrendous start to the season continued this weekend, with the former Premier League champions falling to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of West Ham United, and fans will be hoping that the team can put their problems behind them for tomorrow's clash.

United's first victory in the Champions League, a 3-0 win away at Young Boys, was inspired by Paul Pogba, and they will no doubt be relying heavily on him against a much stronger Valencia side on Tuesday night.

Will the Frenchmen be able to keep his composure on Tuesday night and help guide United to another victory, or will the off-field distractions lead to yet another defeat for the Manchester club?
