Jose Mourinho isn't wasting a second in deploying Manchester United's world-record signing.
On Friday, Paul Pogba was named to United's starting XI for the Red Devils' Premier League fixture against Southampton. The match marks the first for which the French midfielder is eligible to play since he returned to Old Trafford for a world-record transfer fee of £89.3 million (that could rise to £93.2 million).
United's fixture against Southampton also marks the first of 10 Premier League matches this season to be played on a Friday night.
