Trio nominated for Europa League award

Paul Pogba, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have been nominated for the UEFA Europa League Player of the Season award, after helping Manchester United to win the trophy.

The inaugural prize will be presented in Monaco later this month when the ceremony for the group stage draw of the competition - plus the Champions League - takes place on Friday 25 August.

Pogba started every Europa League game in 2016/17 and scored the opening goal during the 2-0 win over AFC Ajax in the Stockholm final last May. That helped to earn him a nomination from a panel of judges that consisted of every manager who was involved in the group stage of the Europa League, plus journalists.
