Pogba had been missing since the Everton match on 6 February but showed no signs of ring rust on Thursday, when he replaced Marcus Rashford at half-time to produce an excellent performance, breaking the deadlock after 48 minutes and helping to earn a priceless victory at the San Siro.
The result in Milan wrapped up a 2-1 aggregate win over the Italian giants and, as a result, booked United’s place in the Europa League quarter-finals, with the draw set to take place this afternoon.
Earlier this week, Fernandes had looked forward to Pogba’s return when wishing the France international a happy birthday and it is clear our Portuguese magnifico was delighted on Thursday.
