ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC, PAUL Pogba and Marcos Rojo are all fit for Manchester United’s clash with Newcastle, manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed.
Ibrahimovic has not appeared for United since April after suffering a serious knee injury, though that did not deter the Red Devils from offering him a fresh one-year deal.
Pogba, meanwhile, has been missing since September after suffering a hamstring injury during United’s victory over Basel.
But the pair are both now ready to return alongside Marcos Rojo, who made his return from a knee injury during United’s U23 clash with Athletic Club.
Speaking to MUTV, Mourinho confirmed their availability, saying: “The players that stayed here and [were] recovering from injuries, even the ones that are recovering from big injuries, they are ready to play.”
“When pushed on which specific individuals were fit, he responded: “Pogba, Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo.”

Great news especially with rojo being able to cover left full and centre half . Unfortunately the damage is already done for the league this season
@hard yaka: yeah hard yaka can’t see city being caught but great to have the 3 of them back.
Pogba will be a huge addition. He’s been a massive loss. As somebody who never rated Herrera, I’m glad the rest of the Utd fans have finally copped how limited he is.
@Lurfic: Most be you only man and a handful of others. I highly rate Herrera and quite a lot of united fan base too.
Herrera is a work horse, future captain I think.
Great news. Pogba is back. Hahahah brillo. Points be dropped even more so now.
@Is mise muc gránna: what’s that comment based on that doesn’t make any sense united have dropped more points without him playing so what sort of comment is that?
@John Barnes: Don’t feed the semiliiterate troll John.
@John Barnes: Because he actually hasn’t a clue what he is saying, just ‘attempting’ to be funny and kick off another war of words by muttering any old shit.
@Declan Doyle: that would be semiliterate……
@Jason Brosnahan: That’s correct. Careful or they’ll be after you also.
@John Barnes: The point is that in my opinion he is rubbish so great and brillo he is back.
@Is mise muc gránna: who actually says “brillo”? What are you 7 ?
@Is mise muc gránna: Know when you’re beaten. Shut it.
Happy days
Delighted to have them back especially Rojo the guy is a beast and a brick wall.
Yawn. So overvalued and over rated. Better than the crap playing at the moment to be fair though
