PAUL POGBA will play no part of Manchester United’s Premier League opener at Bournemouth this weekend due to his suspension.
So, when will the £100million man make his United debut then?
The France ace, who left United to join Juventus in 2012 in search of first-team football, is now set to make his second debut for the club next Friday night, August 19, against Southampton in front of the home support at Old Trafford in the first Friday game in the new Premier League schedule.
His ban which has been upheld by the FA 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, 23, said after rejoining United: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Juventus and have some fantastic memories of a great club with players that I count as friends.
“But I feel the time is right to go back to Old Trafford.
“There are no words to be honest, there are no words. I just came back to Carrington, it was like I just came back home.”
He will be back “home” for his second debut next Friday night against the Saints.
