An easy target for reasons largely beyond his control, the spotlight has been fixed on Paul Pogba for months. Sometimes he has delivered, occasionally he has not, but the conversation surrounding him has been constant.
The Friends Arena will be the stage on which Pogba hopes to finally win punditry allies with a performance driving Manchester United into next season's Champions League and collecting another trophy along the way.
These are the nights he was bought for. Put the debate about playing as a six or an eight aside, or whether he has done enough this year, Pogba will be expected to carry them from midfield.
