A summary of Saturday's action in the FA Cup third round.
The Manchester United midfielder has left the club's tour of the United States and is ready to discuss personal terms with Newcastle.
Manchester United have named former midfielder Nicky Butt as head of their academy as the club continues to overhaul their youth coaching set-up.
An injury-hit Newcastle United stunned Tottenham Hotspur with a 3-2 victory in the EPL.
The England midfielder said his defensive qualities would be more useful than Frank Lampard's attacking skills against France in Euro 2004.
Butt has made more than 350 appearances for the premier league champions since his debut in 1992-93 but has started only a handful of games this season.
Arsenal will begin their quest to become the first team in modern times to win the FA Cup three years running with a home tie against fellow Premier League side Sunderland in January.
Pogba said last month that he could seek a new challenge after three years at United, while his agent recently told The Times that the 26-year-old intends to leave the club amid reports linking him to Juventus and Real Madrid.
David Beckham, one of the so-called "Class of 92", went on to win six Premier League titles under Alex Ferguson at United alongside youth-team buddies Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, and Gary and Phil Neville. Beckham also won two FA Cups and, memorably, the Champions League in 1999. He topped up his trophy collection with a La Liga winners' medal for Real Madrid and added two MLS Cups during a north American adventure with LA Galaxy.
Esther Staubli is set to become the first female referee to officiate a match at the ongoing FIFA Under-17 World Cup 2017.
