Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is confirming his newest addition will not be playing in the team’s Premier League opener.

Pogba’s ban means Mourinho will have to wait until next Friday’s game at home to Southampton for an opportunity to pick the player as part of his match day squad.
“We only think about our play and our game”.
I think, like most people, I can only see this going one way and that is the way of Jose’s Manchester United.
Discussing United’s chances this season, the Portuguese manager said: “We feel that we are a candidate to win the title”.
Chelsea midfielder Jon Obi Mikel will potentially be squaring off against Manchester United’s Paul Pogba this season, and it appears as though he’s looking forward to it.
But the 34-year-old says that is merely a reflection of the drive that has enabled him to win league titles in four different countries and amass a huge haul of personal honours.
Manchester United fans, after three years veering between disappointment and disenchantment under Moyes and Louis van Gaal, are expecting a change of pace under Mourinho’s management.
“It was the moment to come to England, and who would not come to Manchester United?”. I am very happy I am here and representing Manchester United. Last season David de Gea was the only truly world-class player in the side; this season, you could argue that that number has been quadrupled by the additions of Paul Pogba, Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Klopp said that it only “makes sense” that Sturridge’s pre-season – like other players in his situation – would be extended because he did not have “enough time” and he then missed “a few sessions”.
Arsenal are without Laurent Koscielny, Per Mertesacker or Grabiel on Sunday, meaning they’ll have to use an inexperienced central defensive pairing – potentially using the likes of Calum Chambers or Rob Holding alongside makeshift defender Francis Coquelin.
‘The start by Ibra was fantastic but I wasn’t really surprised he scored such a wonderful goal because I have watched him for a long time.
“‘I know is that he is one of the world’s best, if not the best, and if he’s interested in hiring me I’m flattered”.

“And that’s the challenge for Man United – to try to be a winning team in a new era of the Premier League that is much more hard than before so our job is really hard”. I didn’t win the league when I was back here, and I want to do that because I’ve never done that. “We just send him to Borussia Dortmund where he didn’t play one match”. First, we tackle this season, take no prisoners, and get back to being a team more reminiscent of Manchester United.
