Paul Pogba drops hint on Manchester United injury return

Paul Pogba has posted a new update hinting that he is close to a return to action for Manchester United.

Pogba has not played since his comeback over Christmas was cut short after the win over Newcastle on Boxing Day. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer initially ruled him out for around three weeks, but his return has been delayed more than once.

The Frenchman did not travel with United to their warm weather training camp over the winter break and instead worked individually in Dubai, all the while posting regular videos of his progress to Instagram.

Solskjaer's last update - before the trip to Bruges last week in the Europa League- suggested Pogba's return is not imminent.

"He's not been part of team training yet," Solskjaer said on Wednesday.

"And it will depend on how he feels, or when he feels ready to do that. So he's not anywhere near that yet."

Now, Pogba himself has offered an update on his progress as he uploaded a high-production video to Instagram of how he has been working on his fitness.

The video shows Pogba running in a swimming pool, working in the gym on various exercises and heading into a low temperature chamber.

Pogba captioned the video with 'Soon' along with an egg-timer emoji and a football.

United are next in action for their return leg in the Europa League at home to Brugge, with the scores level at 1-1.
