France World Cup winner Pogba, 27, came back from an ankle injury to play for the first time since 26 December.


Paul Pogba is "desperate to make up for lost time" after making an impressive return to the Manchester United side, says manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

He came off the bench to win a penalty, converted by Bruno Fernandes, as United drew 1-1 at Tottenham on Friday.

"Paul Pogba is a fantastic player and is finally fit again," boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"He has had horrific injury-hit season and he is desperate to make up for lost time. Paul has always wanted to play. He loves football.

"It has been great having him back training with us. He is such an enthusiastic and passionate boy. He expects a lot from himself and wants to be the best."

About Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes linking up, Solskjaer said: "It is a definite partnership that we want to build on. They have trained together now they have had half an hour on the pitch together."

Tottenham Hotspur Manager Jose Mourinho earlier said that Manchester United it too big for Norwegian Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to manage.




Is Manchester United really too big for Solskjaer to manage?🤔
