United have clearly missed Pogba in recent weeks, but his inclusion tonight is certainly noticeable. He produced the goods in the opening minutes with this sublime piece of skill in the centre:
Manchester United have so often played in Europe's biggest competition in years gone by, but the club could taste Champions League football for the first time in years if they manage to triumph over Ajax.
