Manchester United fans will finally get to see Paul Pogba playing in the famous red shirt (in his second stint at the club) against Southampton on Friday night.
Pogba's return was delayed after he picked up two bookings in last season's Coppa Italia, which amounted to a one-game ban. It didn't matter that this happened in Italy and the suspension followed Pogba to England, meaning he was forced to miss their seasonal opener against Bournemouth.
However, the most expensive footballer in the world has served his time and he makes his second debut for the club as a starter against the Saints. Ander Herrera has been demoted to the bench to make way for Pogba. Other than that, the starting XI is the exact same one that lined up last weekend against Bournemouth.

Southampton, meanwhile, have made two changes from the team that drew with Watford last time out.
Club captain and Portuguese Euro 2016 winner Jose Fonte comes in for Maya Yoshida, while former Bayern Munich midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg makes his full debut, with James Ward-Prowse making way.
