United will face Milan in their final ICC match as the only side who can knock Benfica off the top of the table in the pre-season tournament, though the Red Devils need to win by three goals or more to lift the trophy.

However, they will be without Pogba, who, after a strong pre-season despite angling for a move, suffered a back issue following training on Friday.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed he will sit out United’s final pre-season match, but is confident the Frenchman will be back in top condition within a few days.

“At the end of the session today [Friday], Paul got a back spasm,” Solskjaer told United’s official website.

“It’s the same issue he had last week, when he missed the session in Norway, but I think he’ll be available early next week.”

United begin the 2019-20 Premier League season at home to Chelsea on August 11.
