Pogba finally made his return to action on Saturday as the Red Devils managed to thrash Newcastle 4-1 after trailing to an early goal from the away side.

United’s clash with the Magpies saw the France international get on the score-sheet and Pogba appeared to have a special celebration after scoring that goal.

“While very happy to be back, my prayers go to those suffering slavery in Libya,” Pogba wrote on Instagram. “May Allah be by your side and may this cruelty come to an end!”
