Man Utd handed big injury boost ahead of crunch Arsenal clash

Paul Pogba is expected to make his long-awaited return for Manchester United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

United's record £89million signing has not featured since a 1-1 draw at Southampton on August 31, missing the last three games with an ankle injury.

But boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed Pogba is likely to get some game time against League One Rochdale at Old Trafford in the third round tie, ahead of next Monday's visit of Arsenal .

"He'll probably get some minutes against Rochdale," said Solskjaer.

"But we definitely think he's ready for Arsenal."

United need a positive performance and a convincing win over Rochdale, following their abject 2-0 defeat at West Ham on Sunday, which saw them drop to eighth in the Premier League table.
