The midfielder was given permission to stay in France after the family bereavement, while Daley Blind will be rested on Wednesday
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed Paul Pogba will miss Wednesday's clash against Southampton in order to attend his father's funeral.
The France international's father, Fassou Antoine Pogba, passed away at the weekend aged 79 after a long battle with ill-health.
And Mourinho revealed that the midfielder would be in France rather than St. Mary's to pay his respects.
“I don’t think Paul has the conditions to play; we will let him be completely free to come back when he thinks he is ready to be back," he explained in Tuesday's press conference.
