French midfielder, Paul Pogba is desperate to return from injury for Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said.
This was his reaction to Paul Scholes’ recent statement that questioned the ex Juventus player’s commitment to the club.
Speaking ahead of the ‘s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg with Manchester City, Ole backed Paul Pogba by saying he expects him to dazzle once he is completely recovered because he is a complete professional.
He added that the world cup winner is desperate to play football as he is fed up with being injured.
His words, “Paul has had a terrible season with injuries and he is desperate to play football,”
“So if there is one thing I know about Paul it’s that he loves playing football and training, and it’s been playing on his mind.
“Anyone who is injured, you cannot wait to get back on the pitch, and you feel so free and he has been playing with pain so I am sure when he is pain and injury free he will enjoy his football.
“I see a boy who is fed up with being injured and who is desperate to play football. Paul has always been a top professional so I don’t have any doubts that when he comes back he is going to enjoy himself.”
Pogba is not the only major injury boost for Solskjaer’s depleted ranks too, with Scott McTominay also having had his leg brace removed.
“It will definitely help us because they played so well, they have been fantastic for us,” the Norwegian added on the pair’s imminent return, while showering praise on the duo’s understudies Fred and Nemanja Matic.
“Scott has had a fantastic season for us until he got injured and Paul has proven before how good he is.
“Fred and Nemanja have been absolutely terrific for us the last few months because they have had to play every game.
“I think they will have a word in the say and they are not just going to come and take our places, we want to play.”
