Manchester United- Paul Pogba and Chris Smalling are serving a 1-match bans, and Jesse Lingard is facing a late fitness test after a foot injury which he sustained in the Community Shield against Leicester.
The first three of those signings should all make their Premier League debuts on Sunday.
Many expected the 22-year-old Dutchman to be one of Mourinho’s first casualties after a disappointing opening season at Old Trafford, but the new manager is predicting big things.
Pogba said of his new squad, “This is the right club for me to achieve everything I hope to in the game”.
“I have been at the top for 10-15 years, I have played for clubs that players could only dream about and I have won with every club I have been at”.
“This is what I would like to have, decide the numbers for each position”. You’ve also got someone like Michael Carrick too.
“I think I gave a contribution because I was very objective”.
Matt Henderson: Oh it feels very good to be back. They could do it by 30 August, but no, they did everything much earlier. The “special one” took rein at Manchester United after previous manager Louis van Gaal was sacked from the club citing underwhelming results, despite winning the FA cup title in May.
Mata’s future at Old Trafford has been under scrutiny since Mourinho’s arrival, but Portuguese has ensured there is no problem between them.
He attempted to rebut this at his first United press conference last month by suggesting that he has brought through 49 young players during his 16-year managerial career. Still, Howe is anticipating Bournemouth’s second campaign to be even more challenging. “The novelty value will have gone from our players perspective. So it’s a real benefit for us to have them”, Rashford added.
“Since all the new players have come in, the team spirit has just gone up and up and up”. I think we’ve improved, but I think everybody else will have improved.
“We have improved but everybody else has so the challenge is going to be tougher”.

“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”.
