Why Ralf took Pogba off

Our ever-influential France midfielder was chosen to start the clash in West Yorkshire and his driving runs from the middle of park were a key attacking influence throughout his near 70 minutes on the pitch.

With Pogba having just returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines, Rangnick was keen to elaborate on his decision to withdraw Paul, as well as provide an update as to where he feels our no.6 is best suited to play.

“He did well in the first half, but he didn't play from the wing, he played as one of the two eights along with Bruno,” began Ralf in his post-match briefing.
