Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho offered only the briefest explanation as to why he dropped the club's record signing Paul Pogba for Saturday's 2-0 Premier League win over Huddersfield Town at Old Trafford.

The Frenchman had been criticised for his midweek performance in the 2-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley, during which he was substituted in the 63rd minute after having an animated conversation with Mourinho on the touchline.
