Paul Pogba has been named in Manchester United’s starting line-up for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Chelsea.
The 24-year-old was dropped for the last league game at Old Trafford, against Huddersfield Town on February 3, and was also left out of the starting XI for the Champions League trip to Sevilla.
The France international is part of a three-man midfield for the meeting at Old Trafford, alongside Scott McTominay and former Blues midfielder Nemanja Matic, with Ander Herrera out through injury.
