Watford vs Manchester United lineups: Paul Pogba back - confirmed team news and starting XIs

Paul Pogba returns to the Manchester United squad today, but is only fit enough for a bench role against Watford.

Pogba last played for United against Arsenal on 30 September, and has been out of action since then with an ankle injury.

The World Cup winner also fell ill earlier this week, but Pogba was spotted travelling with United's squad on Saturday afternoon - and the midfielder is among the substitutes at Vicarage Road.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is trusting his usual 4-2-3-1 formation to do the trick against rock-bottom Watford, though United may have to try something different considering their struggles against sides in the bottom half of the table.
