Manchester United will be without world record signing Paul Pogba for their Premier League opener against Bournemouth on Sunday due to a suspension, the Football Association said on Friday. Pogba is now in line to make his United debut in their first home game of the season, against Southampton on Aug. 19. Manager Jose Mourinho only learned two days ago that he would be without his marquee summer signing for his new club’s opening fixture. Pogba signed for United for 89 million pounds ($115 million)on Tuesday, but will have to wait to make his debut after the FA named the France international as one of four players who will be suspended for the opening weekend. “I knew the situation with the yellow cards but I didn’t know if an accumulation would bring a suspension,” he told journalists on Friday.
