Manchester United only name one change for Southampton clash, but it’s a bloody big one

Guess who…

Manchester United fans will finally get to see Paul Pogba playing in the famous red shirt (in his second stint at the club) against Southampton on Friday night.

Pogba’s return was delayed after he picked up two booking in last season’s Coppa Italia, which amounted to a one-game a ban. It didn’t matter that this happened in Italy and the suspension followed Pogba to England, meaning he was forced to miss their seasonal opener against Bournemouth.

However, the most expensive footballer in the world has served his time and he makes his second debut for the club as a starter against the Saints. Ander Herrera has been demoted to the bench to make way for Pogba. Other than that, the starting XI is the exact same that lined out last weekend,

And here’s the Southampton team which includes Ireland’s Shane Long leading the line of attack.
