Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford set to return to Manchester United training

According to the Mirror (h/t Daily Mail), key Manchester United duo Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford will be available for selection when the season eventually resumes.

United have coped well in the absence of the players and are currently in fifth spot, just three points off the final Champions League spot.

The squad too is in a better position following the additions of Bruno Fernandes and Odion Ighalo. The shutdown has worked out well for us given we will have a full-strength squad to choose from going into the final stretch of the season.

Pogba, who is United’s most expensive signing has made just eight appearances this season and has struggled for fitness.

Rashford, on the other hand, suffered a stress fracture and has not appeared since January. His game time upon return can be better managed given the availability of Ighalo.

The absence of a backup forced Ole Gunnar Solksjaer to play Rashford in every game, overextending his physical abilities.

The club has been indulging in the action while following the government’s rules on social distancing.

Pogba and Rashford are world-class players who will add much to our squad. The prospect of watching them play alongside Bruno Fernandes is something that will have United fans salivating.

Hopefully, this will be the impetus we need to finish in the top four and go all the way in the Europa League.
