The Football Association has
revealed Paul Pogba is suspended
for Manchester United’s opening
Premier League game of the season
against Bournemouth on Sunday.
The midfielder joined United from
Juventus for £89m in the early
hours of Tuesday morning and
there had been speculation he
could make his debut against the
Cherries despite taking a holiday in
the United States following France’s
Euro 2016 final defeat to Portugal
and only starting pre-season
training this week.
However, his name has appeared
on a list of four players tweeted out
by the FA as suspended for this
weekend’s fixtures, including his
United team-mate Chris Smalling.
The ban relates to two yellow cards
issued in last season’s Coppa Italia.
The second card came in the final,
which was his last game for
Juventus.
Pogba’s United debut is now likely
to be against Southampton at Old
Trafford next Friday.
