Solskjaer said Pogba had been struggling with a knock but expects to be able to pick the United midfielder for the Group H clash. "We hope he's going to be available," Solskjaer said. "He trained this morning. See if there's any reaction when we report tomorrow. "Still Luke Shaw is out, Phil Jones is out.

"We started well with two wins," Solskjaer said of the results against PSG and RB Leipzig. "Disappointed losing the last game in Istanbul. "We need at least 10 points to go through definitely. But maybe, even likely that you have to have 12 points. "We're going to go into this game trying to win it, of course, and try to win it well with a good performance because we've got games coming thick and fast. "Getting to 10 points as quickly as you can was the main point but that defeat was a big blow."
