Premier League: Mourinho confirms Pogba will play against Crystal Palace

Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, has confirmed that Paul Pogba will play their last Premier League match against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Pogba has missed United’s last two games, following the death of his father.

But Mourinho says the midfielder is available for selection again, especially with their Europa League final against Ajax coming up next Wednesday.

“Paul is fine; strong guy, strong mentality. He is learning how to live after his father passed away, but he is strong.

“He knows that he needs to play next Sunday because he didn’t play, didn’t train for a long time. He needs these minutes on the pitch, so he plays against Palace,” he said.

Mourinho also confirmed Chris Smalling and Marouane Fellaini will miss Sunday’s clash at Old Trafford.
