Good news for Manchester United as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Marcos Rojo returns to first team action

Manchester United fans are now full with hope that United are ready to compete with Man City for the Premier League as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Marcos Rojo are all set to return to first team action for the Old Trafford club. 

They have all been included in Manchester United's squad for this weekend's clash with Newcastle, said manager Jose Mourinho on Friday. 

Ibrahimovic and Rojo have been sidelined since April after suffering knee ligament injuries in the same game against Anderlecht in the Europa League quarterfinals, while Pogba has not played since suffering a hamstring tear against Basel on September 12.

According to Mourinho, all three are in contention to feature against Newcastle at Old Trafford on Saturday.

All three selected for the match," Mourinho told a news conference on Friday.

Paul, you can clearly see Manchester United this season before Paul's injury and after Paul's injury.

There are qualities in our football that influence our approach in matches, with Pogba and without Pogba, that's as simple as that.

Zlatan, last season we played with him every minute almost until he was injured; this season we learn how to play without him, but he's a very important player for us and of course welcome back.

Speaking on their injuries and recovery, Mourinho said;

Of course, incredible personality to fight such an important injury," Mourinho.

We were all saying in 2017 he will be back, but one thing is Dec. 31, 2017, and another thing is mid-November. He was as an injured player the same super professional he is when he's fit.

So fantastic work, same as Marcos, is an important injury too, a big surgery; he played with the young boys on Wednesday and is fine, is confident, is also ready.

Paul is obviously not the same dimension, was not a surgical situation but was also bad and all three are back.
