Pogba Not Expected To Face Tottenham

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has not travelled with the rest of the squad for Sunday's Premier League clash at Tottenham due to the death of his father.

Fassou Antoine, who was 79, passed away on Friday after a long illness, and Pogba is not expected to take part in what will be the final ever match at White Hart Lane, live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Super Sunday.

United are already without fellow midfielder Marouane Fellaini, who serves the last of a three-match ban.

Jose Mourinho could feature U23 duo Axel Tuanzebe and Scott McTominay in the side, after the pair made their debuts against Arsenal last weekend, with United preparing for the Europa League final against Ajax on May 24.

Pogba has not played a Premier League game since Burnley at the end of April, after suffering a minor injury of his own.

Luke Shaw (foot), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (knee), Marcos Rojo (knee), Ashley Young (hamstring) and Timothy Fosu-Mensah (shoulder) are all out for the season.

United need victory at the Lane farewell to keep their hopes of finishing in the top four alive, after Arsenal moved four points ahead of them in fifth, and a point behind fourth-placed Liverpool, with victory over Stoke.
