Manchester United fans make Paul Pogba demand ahead of injury return

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinted that the Man Utd midfielder could be back soon, possibly in time for the Premier League fixture vs Tottenham.

Manchester United fans want Paul Pogba to return to the side — as the team's No.10 playmaker.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinted that the French midfielder could make his return from an ankle injury as early as Wednesday, for United's home clash with Jose Mourinho's Tottenham. He said Pogba would be "like a new signing" when fully fit.

Scott McTominay could also return for that Spurs clash — or even earlier with United hosting Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday.

"So he's stepping up his recovery and let's see how soon he'll be match-fit and available," Solskjaer said on Pogba. "Of course that's going to be a new signing for us, he's not really been able to play for us so when we get him back it'll be like a new world-class signing, a new world-class midfielder.

"Sunday, no. Tottenham? I can't say now, because I've not been home and seen him, let's see where he's at when he comes back and starts training with us."

And it seems United fans want to see a tweak of Pogba's position when he comes back into the side. The 26-year-old played in a deep-lying midfield position earlier in the season, before injury struck. He's not played for Solskjaer's side since the 1-1 draw with Arsenal on September 30th.

Many United fans believe Pogba should replace Andreas Pereira in the No.10 role, or at least play a more advanced position ahead of McTominay and Fred.
