Manchester United: Ibrahimovic, Pogba and Rojo will play against Newcastle

Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Superstar trio Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Marcus Rojo will all play for Manchester United Saturday against Newcastle.

The match is set for 12:30 p.m. at Old Trafford.

"The players that stayed here and [were] recovering from injuries, even the ones that are recovering from big injuries, they are ready to play," Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said Friday, according to the team website.

Rojo, 27, hasn't played since April 20, when United tied Anderlecht in the UEFA Europa League. He played Wednesday for United's Under-23 squad. Ibrahimovic also hasn't been seen in a match since the Anderlecht draw. Both players were out with knee injuries.

Mourinho said Ibrahimovic has made a "full recovery." The 36-year-old striker had 28 goals in 46 games last season for United. He was released in June but re-signed with the club in August with a one-year contract.

Pogba, 24, makes his first appearance since a Sept. 12 UEFA Champions League Group A match against Basel. He was dealing with a hamstring injury.

"Now I can speak because Paul is back but you can clearly see Manchester United this season before Paul's injury and after Paul's injury," Mourinho said Friday. "There are qualities in our football that influence our approach in matches, with Pogba and without Pogba, that's as simple as that."

United follows Newcastle with matches against FC Basel, Brighton, Watford, Arsenal and CSKA Moscow.
