CSKA Moscow coach Viktor Goncharenko believes his side's bad luck will be Manchester City's gain as he prepares to face Paul Pogba at Old Trafford.

Pogba's red card against Arsenal on Saturday has been accepted by Manchester United, meaning the £90million midfielder is ruled out of Sunday's crucial Premier League derby and will instead take the field in the club's final Champions League group game.

Pogba might otherwise have expected to be given the night off in midweek, with the Red Devils' progress all-but assured.
