Paul Pogba included in Manchester United's squad for pre-season tour


Paul Pogba has been included in Manchester United's squad for their pre-season tour, the club have announced.

The France midfielder had been a doubt for the trip as reports that he is angling for a move away from Old Trafford picked up pace last week.

But he will travel with the team as they head to Australia to kick-off their preparations for the new season.

Romelu Lukaku, another player linked with a summer departure, is also included among the 28-man party - as are new signings Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will take on Perth Glory and Leeds in Australia before continuing on for pre-season games in Singapore and China.

PA understands that both Matteo Darmian and Fred are absent due to family reasons and will link up with the squad later in the tour.

Alexis Sanchez, who limped out of Chile's Copa America third-place play-off defeat to Argentina overnight, is missing but would not have been included at this stage due to his international exertions.
