Pogba starts in Solskjaer's first match in charge of Manchester United

Paul Pogba has been restored to the Manchester United starting line-up for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first game in charge against Cardiff City.

France midfielder Pogba was dropped from the first XI for the final three Premier League matches of Jose Mourinho's time in charge, including last Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Liverpool, during which he did not even come on as a substitute.

Phil Jones partners Victor Lindelof at the heart of defence, with Luke Shaw fit enough to return and Ashley Young named captain. Youngsters Angel Gomes and James Garner, who travelled with the squad, are not among the substitutes.
