Video : What Pogba did after substitution in Man United's FA Cup defeat to Middlesbrough

  

Manchester United fans would have 

been pleased with Paul Pogba's reaction

 following his substitution on Friday night.

Pogba was brought off for Fred in 

the 82nd minute as United searched 

for a winner with the game level at 

Old Trafford.

United squandered chances aplenty

 against Middlesbrough and so the 

fourth round tie went to extra-time.

After the whistle had gone to signal 

the end of normal time, the changeover

 began for the extra 30 minutes to 

begin and Pogba took on a leadership

 role. He was seen motivating his 

teammates and using his experience 

to good effect.

Pogba returned to the United squad

 in the Reds' defeat to Middlesbrough 

for the first time since November 

against Atalanta.

The 28-year-old is in the final year 

of his contract at United and little 

progress has been made in talks 

to extend his deal. That means Pogba

 could leave United on a free transfer

 this summer, 10 years after he 

last left United for Juventus on a 

free transfer.

Pogba has struggled with injury 

this season and his start on Friday 

was just his 11th all season across

 all competitions.

Pogba is set to play a key role for

 the remainder of the campaign as 

United look to secure Champions 

League football.
