Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently confirmed that Paul Pogba will be back on the pitch in Dec. 2019. The Norwegian coach is hopeful that Pogba's return could be pivotal to the Red Devils' performance as the hectic Christmas period approaches. The French midfielder is taking rest now after suffering from an injury.
Paul Pogba is stepping up in recovery and will be back at the Old Trafford from December onwards, according to Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Since Sept. 30, the French footballer has been missing the action of the Red Devils. His injury left Manchester United to do the necessary measures in seven matches across all competitions without him.
Pogba recently shared that he will still be wearing a cast for another week before undergoing a couple more weeks of rehabilitation. Ahead of Manchester United's Europa League clash, Solskjaer revealed Pogba's recovery time table and stated that the French footballer is working hard to get back on the field as soon as possible. During a recent press conference, Solskjaer also mentioned that it wouldn't be long until Pogba is out of the cast and will work hard during the international break.
Paul Pogba's absence in Manchester United was downplayed by team captain Ashley Young. He said that the Red Devils have enough strength to cope without the French footballer. Young added that the team has a great competition for places all over the squad and it depends on the manager to pick the team.
We go out there and perform, it is not a difficult job for us, Young shared. The team captain also admitted that player's like Paul Pogba suffering from an injury is disappointing, but he is confident about the players that took his position in his absence. He added that it would be great to have the 26 years old Frenchman back in the pitch.
