Paul Scholes wasn't surprised to see Jose Mourinho drop Paul Pogba for Manchester United's Champions League clash with Sevilla, because the Portuguese has lost "trust" in the Frenchman.
The Red Devils' record £89million signing, who hasn't played a full game for the club since the 1-0 win over Burnley on January 20, was named on the bench for the first leg of United's last-16 clash.
However, he was forced on in just the 16th minute of the match in Spain after Ander Herrera picked up an injury. He played the remainder of the fixture, but lacked match fitness, and failed to impact the tie.
Scholes spoke about the midfielder following the tie, and suggested it wasn't a shock to see Mourinho had left the Frenchman on the bench.
Pogba has been suffering with illness, and Scholes isn't convinced that Pogba is in the Manchester United manager's good books at the moment.
"I think Mourinho has lost a little bit of trust in him, especially for tonight, a big European away game," said Scholes on BT Sport.
"He doesn't play the position particularly well defensively. He's got all the attributes going forward he's fantastic, he has great ability - more ability that the other three players that are playing.
"But the positional sense in a big European away game; Mourinho wants that solidity in midfield and to hit them on the counter-attack."
