Team news: Could Pogba start on Boxing Day?

Pogba’s return to the XI could provide a timely boost after the disappointing defeat to the Hornets and the manager admits it is “great to have him back”.

The World Cup winner’s creativity and influence in midfield may help the Reds break down teams that are sitting deep, something that has proved to be a challenge this term.

“Let’s see how he reacts to this [Watford game] and how he feels,”

said Ole, when speaking to the media at Vicarage Road on Sunday.

“He did really well when he came on. It’s a big, big plus and it might be that we do get him in from the start [against Newcastle] because you just want to get more and more [quality] into the team when he plays.
