United players set for the World Cup quarter-finals

POGBA IS FIRST UP

The last-eight ties get under way on Friday afternoon when France take on Uruguay, who have former Reds full-back Guillermo Varela in their squad, in Nizhny Novgorod at 15:00 BST.

Paul was involved in all three of France’s goals in the group stage and played his part in helping Les Bleus beat Marcos Rojo’s Argentina 4-3 in a thrilling last-16 clash in Kazan.

Didier Deschamps' side face another tough test against South American opposition in the Uruguayans, who have won all four of their games so far and knocked out Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in the previous round.
