Jose Mourinho has revealed that Paul Pogba was not injured, explaining that his choice to substitute the Manchester United midfielder during their 1-0 loss to Newcastle was a tactical one.
"No problems," he said after the game when asked about the France international. "I wanted a better way [in midfield] against a side that was defending in a block.
"I wanted the simplicity of Michael Carrick and I wanted Alexis closer to Lukaku where he could be like a second striker."
The star was hooked in the 66th minute , as the Red Devils struggled to break the Magpies down at St James' Park.
