Manchester United can cope without Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba, insists defender Phil Jones

Phil Jones believes Manchester United have 'more than enough' to cope with key absentees and their testing fixture schedule at managerless Middlesbrough.

Jose Mourinho's men arrive at the Riverside Stadium on Sunday lunchtime in search of a much-needed victory, having drawn eight times during a 17-match unbeaten run in the Premier League.

United head to the north east after progressing to the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday, although Paul Pogba and Daley Blind were forced off during the narrow last-16 second-leg win against Rostov.

Pogba will definitely miss the trip to Boro along with suspended pair Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ander Herrera, but Jones is confident United will have the wherewithal to head into the international break with an important victory.
