Paul Pogba will be suspended for the Manchester derby after being sent off in Manchester United's Premier League match at Arsenal on Saturday.

United led 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium when Pogba - who earlier set up Jesse Lingard brilliantly for his side's third goal - lost control of the ball.

Stretching to recover possession, Pogba arrived late to a challenge with Hector Bellerin, the France international coming down hard on the right-back's leg with the studs of his boot.

Referee Andre Marriner took his time to come to a decision but was left with little choice but to show the red card, Pogba being dismissed for the first time in a Premier League match.

Pogba faces a three-match ban - although United may appeal - which would rule him out of games against Manchester City, West Brom and Bournemouth.

The club-record signing may also face further punishment after sarcastically applauding the decision to send him off as he left the field.

Pogba's last league red card came in a Serie A match, when he was playing for Juventus against Palermo, in May 2013.

United could also be without midfielders Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini for the December 10 meeting with rivals City.
