Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed it in the build.up. Paul Pogba is suffering back problems and is out of the match. After this clash, Man Utd's Premier League season gets underway.
The Red Devils have played five friendlies and he has played at least some of every one of them. Man United have won all five of them, by the way. The Norwegian coach explained what the matter with Pogba was.
"At the end of the session, Paul had a back spasm, the same problem he had last week when he missed the training session in Norway. But I think he will be available for the beginning of next week," he said.
Solskjaer hopes to be able to count on Pogba for the whole season. The United player is one of the protagonists of the summer in terms of transfer rumours. Real Madrid want him, he's Zinedine Zidane's wish, but Man U are not letting him go.
