Ole Gunnar Solskjaer provided an injury update on French midfielder Paul Pogba in a chat with MUTV after the Europa League win over Granada on Thursday night. Paul Pogba was one of three key players that had to leave the game due to injury.
Manchester United manager Solskjaer have one foot in the semi-finals of the Europa League after the 2-0 away victory over their Spanish La Liga opponents in the first leg of their quarterfinal tie. Alongside Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw didn’t finish the match as a result of injury.
Speaking to The Mail, Solskjaer said that he wants to help Sanchez get back to the form replicated during his time at the Emirates. He added that he won’t spoon fee anyone and the players need to make the efforts to secure playing time, he told: “I will have to help. I’ve just answered a question here that you can’t spoon feed them. They’ve got to come in and grab their chances and Alexis is quality and he showed it in Copa America. Then he got his injury. I don’t think it’s too bad so I’m hoping he will be available for maybe Kristiansund or AC Milan so he will at least get some football before the season starts.”
During this period, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba have been among the players, who have stood up in the attacking department but Cascarino has posed questions regarding the latter’s consistency. In a report covered by The Times, Cascarino said that the Frenchman may have witnessed a change of fortunes under Ole but he has the tendency to switch off from games which was displayed during the FA Cup quarter-final against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the weekend.
However, with the Portuguese’s dismissal, his fortunes have changed under interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and this has somewhat ceased the speculation regarding his future. In a report covered by TalkSPORT, Ince highlighted that Pogba’s position with United will always remain a topic of discussion, given the midfielder has not been consistent with the performances on the playing field.
