Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reveals if Paul Pogba will play for Man Utd against old foe Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho will return to his old club on Wednesday night.

Tottenham travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United one year after the Portuguese left the Red Devils.

Mourinho has been in charge of Spurs for just under two weeks, but has a 100% record at the helm so far following three straight wins - two in the Premier League and one in the Champions League.

It has put them right back in the mix for a top four spot and Mourinho would love nothing more than to return to his old club and put more distance between themselves and United.

United are languishing in ninth place and victory for Tottenham would see them move five points clear of their hosts.

Mourinho spent two-and-a-half years  Old Trafford and in that time had a well-publicised falling out with midfielder Paul Pogba.

Pogba was stripped of the captaincy by Mourinho after saying he wanted to leave, while Pogba was also critical of Mourinho's tactics on more than one occasion.

The Manchester United midfielder has been missing since the end of October with an ankle injury, but has been edging ever closer to a return to action.

Could he make that return against his old foe Mourinho in the game with Spurs, live on Amazon Prime on Wednesday night?

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: "Not ready, no, he’s still a bit away but working hard so let’s see, out on the grass, let’s see how long it will take."
