ZLATAN SET FOR BENCH BUT JONES RULED OUT

Jose Mourinho confirmed on Friday that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Marcos Rojo are all back in the matchday squad for Saturday's clash with Newcastle and the Manchester United manager has since revealed that Ibrahimovic will, in fact, be named on the bench.

The Swede has made an incredible recovery from the cruciate-knee injury he suffered in April, with the manager delighted to have another attacking option available to him as the Reds continue to battle on all fronts.
"As a start, I see him on the bench and it's where I see him," stated the manager. "It's where he's going to be tomorrow [Saturday], on the bench."
One player who won't be at the manager's disposal for the clash with the Magpies is Phil Jones. The United defender was forced off during the first half of England's friendly draw with Brazil on Tuesday and Mourinho confirmed on Friday that Jones will be sidelined due to the injury.
"In the winter period, the more players you have, the better the situation is," Mourinho told reporters on Friday. "I think it's more than hard. I think it's impossible for a player to play every match, every minute, in December especially.
"It's around 10 matches, especially for a team which has also Champions League and League Cup [fixtures]. I think there are nine matches in December, so the more options you have, the better."
