Draxler and PSG happy to see 'fantastic' Pogba banned

Paul Pogba's suspension for Manchester United's Champions League last-16 return leg has given Paris Saint-Germain an advantage, said Julian Draxler.

Pogba was sent off in the closing stages of United's 2-0 first-leg loss at home to PSG in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The United star midfielder – who was shown a second yellow card for a challenge on Dani Alves – will miss the trip to Paris on March 6 as a result.

Draxler and PSG are happy to see World Cup winner Pogba on the sidelines ahead of next month's showdown.

"For me Paul is the best player of Manchester United," he said.
