Ibrahimovic will complement Lukaku, says Mourinho, as Pogba also returns

Both players make eagerly anticipated returns to United colours against Newcastle in today’s late kick-off, with Pogba in contention to start after a two-month lay-off and Ibrahimovic among the substitutes for the first time since injuring his cruciate knee ligaments in April.

Defender Marcos Rojo is also restored to the matchday squad, having injured his knee in the same match as Ibrahimovic.
