Bastian Schweinsteiger Says Hello In A Low-Key Pogba Derby Second Leg

In direct defiance of former Manchester United hard man Roy Keane, Paul and Florentin Pogba again displayed feelings of brotherly love on the soccer pitch Wednesday: giving dap, exchanging jerseys, strolling around the pitch postgame, applauding everyone and refraining from threatening to murder each other and calling each other f***ing w***ers.

The Stade Geoffroy-Guichard stadium was packed and in full voice despite being down 3-0, and a deft touch from Henrikh Mkhitaryan on a Juan Mata cross effectively ended the tie in the 16th minute.  

Eric Bailly received two yellow cards in a three-minute span to earn his marching orders, ruling him out of United’s round of 16 first leg match. Other than that, Bastian Schweinsteiger appearing as a substitute for Michael Carrick was the only other highlight.

 

Mourinho did name a strong lineup despite the fact that United will contest the EFL Cup final against Southampton on Sunday. For Mourinho, it might’ve just been about keeping a fantastic run of form in rhythm.

After the match, Mourinho was asked by a reporter to clarify the rumors of Wayne Rooney’s possible transfer to China:

“The only rumor I know is that we have a plane to catch in two hours on a direct flight to Manchester," Mourinho said.
