Paul Pogba v Crystal Palace
Manchester United closed out their Premier League season beating Crystal Palace 2-0 at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho played a handful of kids in United’s final match before Europa League final against Ajax on Wednesday.
Man United took a 2-nil lead into the break against the Eagles after goals from Josh Harrop and Paul Pogba in the first half.
Harrop, a young Man United striker who has been banging in the goals for the U23s, broke the deadlock with a sublime strike after 15 minutes.
Minutes later Pogba doubled the advantage, and the French international dedicated his goal to his father, who passed away a little over a week ago.
Why was Pogba subbed?
Just before the break, Jose Mourinho took off Pogba for Michael Carrick.
Many thought the substitution was a precaution from Mourinho before the Ajax match in the Europa League final on Wednesday.
But did Pogba pick up an injury?
That suggestion was floated by the Guardian’s Jamie Jackson, who reported Pogba limped after he was subbed.

Will Pogba be fit for the Ajax game?
That issue was discussed on Dutch TV on Sunday night, as well respected journalist Jack van Gelder announced that he’s heard Paul Pogba has been playing with a hamstring problem for the past 8 weeks.
Van Gelder claimed Pogba has been worked a lot with Dutch physiotherapist Leo Echteld.
