Pogba, on the other hand injured his hamstring in a Champions League win against Basel in September.
All are expected today in the squad that faces Newcastle United, as Mourinho hopes to get back his Reds to the winning ways after the international break.

MANCHESTER UNITED OFFICIALS UNHAPPY WITH JOSE?
Manchester United hierarchy are not impressed with Jose Mourinho, according to sensational reports. Mourinho uttered last week that he's not finishing his carrier at Old Trafford.
The words have angered the club's officials and have threatened to replace him with former Barcelona manager, Louis Enrique in the next season. Enrique's is currently on sabbatical, following his resignation at Barca last season.

BORUSSIA SIGN DEMBELE'S REPLACEMENT
Borussia Dortmund have completed the signing of Ukrainian Andriy Yarmolenko from Dynamo Kyiev, on a four-year deal for €25m. Yarmolenko has been a target for the BVB over the past seasons.
He has 69 caps for his country, Ukraine, in which he scored 29 times. At Kyiev, he played 339 competitive games and netted 137 times. He's been brought in to replace Ousmane Dembele, 20, who completed his move to Barcelona on Monday for €105m. Sources now say that €25m of the Dembele's money has gone to Dynamo Kyiev for the talented, 27 years old midfielder.

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC
Manchester United have resigned striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic on one year deal. He had been released by the club after he suffered a serious knee injury in a Europa league tie match against Anderlecht early this year.
Zlatan, a former Sweden striker, made 46 appearances for Manchester United scoring 28 goals in all competitions.
He started his carrier at a home club Malmo, before playing for Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, PSG and currently Manchester United. Having won Community Shield, League Cup and Europa League in his first season at Old Trafford, Ibrahimovic has recorded a trophy every year since 2001. He is now set take up shirt no. 10 left vacant after Rooney's departure to Everton this summer. The question, many are asking now, is how Zlatan will play alongside Lukaku. This question however, looks unripe, for Zlatan has to regain full fitness to return to the pitch.

He has signed a five-year deal at Valencia and has a €80m release-clause.

TOTTENHAM AGREE SANCHEZ DEAL
Tottenham Hotspur look set to make their first signing of the summer in Ajax's Davinson Sanchez; who was also linked to Barcelona and Inter Milan.
Tottenham have been in the hunt for a new center back, following reports linking Kevin Wimmer to West Brom. It's reported West Brom have yet to submit a bid, but have asked about the availability of Wimmer.
Sanchez, 21, signed for Ajax last summer from Atletico Nacional. He made 43 appearances, netting six times for Ajax last season.
It's believed Ajax had said to Sanchez they didn't want to sell him, but they now appear convinced to part with their highly rated defender for club record, £40m.

COSTA COULD FACE LEGAL ACTION
Chelsea striker, Diego Costa could face a legal action for failing to report for training. That's according to the club's hierarchy.
Costa claimed he has been fined for failing to adhere to the club's call to return to training to make himself available for selection. He has been residing in Brazil, hoping to join Atletico Madrid, once their transfer embargo is uplifted in January. However, Chelsea have continued to request Costa back to training, but to no response.
Costa revealed he was axed by manager Antonio Conte, telling him that he (Costa) was not in his (Conte's) plans this season through a text message. It's with this reason that Costa went for holiday in Brazil.
In an interview this week, Costa claimed he was ready to be fined more, for he won't leave Brazil, unless Chelsea agree a deal with Atletico Madrid to sign him.
Diego Costa's lawyer, Richardo Cardosso said he will use all possible mechanisms to see his client out of Chelsea.
Real Betis and Deportivo La Coruna are the recent sides willing to get Costa on loan, but he refuses citing he wants to go to Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid could sign Costa, but only after the window closes. FIFA allows clubs to sign a player inside or outside the transfer window so long as other rules are maintained. Costa's situation and battle with Chelsea, may yet continue until the end of the month, if he continues ignoring their call to return to training.
In addition, Chelsea maintain that Costa's situation is hypothetical and the club remains adamant that Costa must return to training or face legal action.

EVERTON SIGN SIGURDSSON
Iceland international, Gylfi Sigurdsson has successfully passed medical at Everton. Sigurdsson was a key player for Swansea last season, helping them to avoid relegation.

Sigurdsson, aged 27 is a specialist in dead-balls and assists and even scores when chances arise.

UNITED'S MENSAH JOINS CRYSTAL PALACE

Timothy, 19 saw his play time limited by the arrival of £31m Victor Lindelof from Benfica and welcomed the chance to get more playing time when Palace knocked. He joined the United's academy in 2014 from Ajax and broke into the senior team under the then manager, Louis Van Gaal. He went ahead to make 10 senior appearances under the Dutch manager, Van Gaal before he limitedly appeared 4 times under Jose Mourinho. The new Crystal Palace manager, Frank De Boer reportedly had made contact with the United's defender, before the apparent transfer. Timothy can play both as full-back or a center back. He can also play as a midfielder.

WATFORD SIGN GRAY

NEYMAR SIGNS PSG DEAL!
PSG has signed Neymar Jr on a five-year contract for a world record €222m from Barcelona. He will wear shirt no. 10, having previously worn no. 11 at Barcelona. PSG's Javier Pastore, who wore the no. 10 shirt agreed to get to his previous no. 27 jersey. The La Liga had previously on Thursday refused to trigger the fee, but the PSG chiefs went ahead to pay directly at Barcelona offices. The French giants had been accused of breaching the Financial Fair Play for triggering such a huge release-clause, over doubling Manchester United's €105m capture of Paul Pogba from Juventus. Neymar now remains the most expensive player under the sun following the transfer.
