Sevilla vs Manchester United, Uefa Champions League team news and starting line-ups

Paul Pogba is on the bench for Manchester United's Champions League last-16 first-leg tie away to Sevilla, with Scott McTominay starting in Jose Mourinho's midfield.

Mourinho had indicated Pogba is fit to start in Spain after taking a full part in training on the eve of the game, when the United boss took the unusual step to move the open part of the session to show him in competitive action.

However, Pogba is among the substitutes for United as they take on Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Valencia, Lindelof, Smalling, Young, Matic, McTominay, Herrera, Mata, Sanchez, Lukaku

Subs: Romero, Bailly, Darmian, Martial, Rashford, Lingard, Pogba

Sevilla XI: Sergio Rico, Jesus Navas, Mercado, Lenglet, Escudero, Sarabia, Nzonzi, Banega, Correa, Vazquez, Muriel

Subs: Soria, Carrico, Ben Yedder, Pizarro, Nolito, Roque, Sandro

Referee: Clement Turpin (France)

The United manager had attempted to lighten the load on under-performing Pogba in the build-up to the game by saying a huge price tag does not mean extra responsibility.

Scrutiny over form and happiness has been compounded by sickness during a difficult period for the France international.

Mourinho last week admitted Pogba's form had dropped but angrily dismissed "lies" suggesting a fractured relationship with the midfielder, who would have started Saturday's FA Cup win at Huddersfield but for illness.

"I don't think it's fair to speak about the responsibilities of a player," Mourinho said.

"I don't even like the fact that the player that cost X millions doesn't have the same responsibility as the player that cost three times X.

"I think the responsibility is for everyone, so I don't like that kind of approach. I understand for you (the media), but not for me.

"When I decide a team to play, I don't look to the age, I don't look to the salary, I don't look to the transfer fee, because I think that's not also fair."
