Manchester United make early Paul Pogba decision ahead of Liverpool clash

Manchester United are set to take no risks over midfielder Paul Pogba ahead of their Premier League clash with Newcastle this weekend because they want him to be fresh for Liverpool.

The Reds don't travel to Old Trafford to face Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side until October 20 but that has not stopped the manager making an early decision over Pogba's fitness.

The French international, who was omitted from his country's squad for their upcoming international fixtures, has been struggling with foot and ankle injuries this season having only managed six appearances in 10 games.

“He probably won’t be available on Sunday,” Solskjaer said.

“There's an international break as well, it might be time for us to give him 10 or 14 days extra to be ready for Liverpool.”
