Man Utd: Zlatan Ibrahimovic & Paul Pogba in squad against Newcastle
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba were part of Manchester United's EFL Cup-winning side last season
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba return to the Manchester United squad for Saturday's Premier League game against Newcastle at Old Trafford.
Striker Ibrahimovic, 36, is yet to play this season after suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury in April.
Midfielder Pogba, 24, has not played since injuring a hamstring against Basel in September.
Defender Marcos Rojo is also available and manager Jose Mourinho said "all three will be selected".
"Paul you can see. Clearly you can see there was a Manchester United this season before and after his injury," added Mourinho.
"He has qualities that influence our approach in matches."
Former Sweden striker Ibrahimovic made 46 appearances and scored 28 goals for United last season.
He was released by the club in June after his season was ended prematurely by a knee injury, but re-signed on a one-year deal in August.
"Last season we played with Zlatan every minute," added Mourinho.
"(We have) learned how to play without him. Of course we welcome him back. He is an incredible personality."
'Ibrahimovic and Lukaku can play together'
Ibrahimovic's return to Old Trafford came after United had signed strikerRomelu Lukaku from Everton for an initial £75m, and the 24-year-old has scored seven times in his first 11 Premier League games.
But Mourinho says the Belgium international and Ibrahimovic can play together.
"Good players can play together," said the Portuguese. "With good players, it is easy to play together.
"We can't expect him (Ibrahimovic) to play full 90 minutes or consecutive matches. He needs time to be back to his level - fitness and sharpness is everything."

Sarah Sanders' absolutely unreal explanation of Trump's anti-Muslim video tweets Washington (CNN) On Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump retweeted three videos purportedly showing Muslims committing acts of violence against Christians . He did so despite the fact that the videos came from a far-right, anti-Muslim group in Britain and remain unverified. Which is all beside the point, according to White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. "Whether it is a real video, the threat is real," Sanders told reporters Wednesday morning . "That is what the President is talking about, that is what the President is focused on is dealing with those real threats, and those are real no matter how you look at it." When pressed on the difference between the videos being real or fake, Sanders replied, "I'm not talking about the nature of the video. I think you're focusing on the wrong thing. The threat is real, and that's what the Preside...
