Manchester United 2 - 0 Huddersfield Town; 5 Talking Points

#3 Jose Mourinho sends Paul Pogba a message

Pogba and Alexis congratulate each other

The fact that Paul Pogba is the best footballer in Manchester United is beyond dispute - as stated on numerous occasions he is often the man that can mean the difference between United being a proper title challenger and United oscillating between a regular top-6 team and mediocrity.

But after a visibly heated argument and a rather humiliating substitution at the hour mark during that Spurs game, Mourinho rested his star man, his most expensive signing ever, to play 21-year-old Scott McTominay - at the club since the age of 9.

McTominay, of course, lacked the sheer quality of Pogba, and his positional discipline and the fight he showed would have pleased Mourinho, but it wasn't about the Scot's performance, was it?

The Portuguese has sent a strong, not-subtle-in-the-least message to Pogba - "I'm the boss, and you better not forget it".

The fact that Pogba came on and played some lovely football in the half-hour or so he got on the pitch would have pleased Mourinho no end.
