Utd fall without Pogba

FOOTBALL: Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is refusing to bemoan the absence of a missing star. United had to make-do without injured midfielder Paul Pogba in their 3-1 loss to cross-town rivals City in the Manchester derby yesterday. He said they missed Pogba for several reasons, but there was no guarantee they would have won with him. United sit sixth on the English Premier League ladder, 12 points behind leaders City. Liverpool posted a 2-0 win over Fulham, Arsenal drew 1-all with Wolves courtesy of an 86th minute equaliser, while Chelsea and Everton drew 0-all.
