JOSE MOURINHO HAS CONFIRMED THE UNAVAILABLE OF PAUL POGBA AGAINST SUNDAY MATCH.

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has given reasons why midfielder, Paul Pogba will not be available for Thursday’s derby with Manchester City.

The international France was forced off in the closing stages of United’s 2-0 win over Burnley on Sunday.
Jose said afterward that the 24-year-old was “dead” having played 47 games so far this season, and he confirmed at his news conference on Wednesday that the midfielder will not be available to line up against City at the Etihad Stadium.

The Portuguese manager also confirmed that Antonio Valencia would be available for the encounter after missing the win at Turf Moor while Ander Herrera has shaken off an ankle knock and is available.
However, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones are still out, despite Mourinho’s call for the defensive pair to step up their recovery from injury and take the burden off Eric Bailly and Daley Blind.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marcos Rojo and Juan Mata are also unavailable.

Mourinho said, “We go with what we have, we fight with what we have, I trust the boys and I go with everything we have and we go until the last second of the season. The boys are fighters and we go.”
