Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is set to start Paul Pogba for the first time in 10 months, when they host Sheffield United on Wednesday, according to SportsMail.
Pogba is fit again after recovering from an ankle problem, that kept him sidelined since Boxing Day.
The France midfielder enjoyed an impressive cameo in the 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur last Friday, winning the penalty that Bruno Fernandes converted.
Solskjaer is giving serious consideration to playing Pogba from the start against the Blades, in a move that could see him start with Fernandes for the first time.
Fred, Scott McTominay and Fernandes started in central midfield against Tottenham, but one will drop to the bench to accommodate Pogba.
Kick off is 6pm West African time.
In Another news, Manchester United midfielder, Scott McTominay, has signed a new five-year contract with the club.
McTominay, who graduated from the Red Devils Academy, has played a key role for the club this season, scoring four goals.
He is a contender for the club’s Player of the Season award and his good form has been rewarded with a new deal.
The new deal will see him stay at Old Trafford until June 2025, with an option to extend for a further year.
“All I have ever known is United and I hope that my passion for the club shows every time I go onto the pitch. I’ll continue to give everything for this club whenever I put on the shirt.
“I want to thank the manager for the faith he has shown in me and everyone at the club that has helped me get to where I am today,” McTominay told United’s official website.
Tottenham Hotspur boss, Jose Mourinho, has revealed that he allowed Manchester United have the ball during their 1-1 draw on Friday because they are not very good with build-up play.
Mourinho’s men took the lead in the first half through Steven Bergwijn’s powerful effort.
However, United ensured the points were shared after Bruno Fernandes converted a late penalty.
Mourinho, who managed the Old Trafford side for three years, admits he was wary of their threat with counter attacks and did not want to play into their hands.
