Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba to feature against Rochdale in EFL Cup

By Darren Plant, Senior Reporter | 24 September 2019

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says that Paul Pogba will play some part of the club's EFL Cup tie against Rochdale on Wednesday night.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that Paul Pogba is ready to make his return from injury.

The midfielder has been sidelined since the end of last month having sustained an ankle problem in the Premier League fixture with Southampton.

Pogba has since missed three matches in all competitions, but Solskjaer has revealed that the World Cup winner will be given some minutes in Wednesday night's EFL Cup tie against Rochdale.

Speaking at a press conference, Solskjaer told reporters: "He'll probably get some minutes against Rochdale, but we definitely think he's ready for Arsenal."

Before the injury, which also kept him out of action for France during the international break, the 26-year-old contributed two assists from United's opening four Premier League games.
