Paul Pogba returns to Manchester United training ground after Dubai trip

Paul Pogba was photographed driving into Manchester United's training complex on Friday as the wait for his return from injury goes on.

Pogba has not featured for United since Boxing Day and underwent ankle surgery at the beginning of January.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on New Year's Day that Pogba would be available in three to four weeks but it is nearly March and he is yet to resume full training.

Pogba is usually chauffeured into training but he drove himself into Carrington in a Bentley Bentayga.

It is the first time Pogba has been photographed arriving at United's training ground for several weeks after he recently spent time working on his recovery in Dubai.

The French midfielder told former world champion boxer Wladimir Klitschko in a recent interview that he is focused on coming back stronger.

United manager Solskjaer refused to put a timescale on Pogba's return during a press conference earlier this week.

"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."

United drew 1-1 with Club Brugge on Thursday night, with Anthony Martial's second-half strike saving the under-par visitors' blushes in Belgium.

Solskjaer and his players flew straight back to Manchester after the game and a host of those involved were pictured arriving at Carrington along with Pogba on Friday morning.

United are back in action against Watford on Sunday and Scott McTominay could make his long-awaited return to action after a knee injury.

McTominay, like Pogba, has not featured since the 4-1 win over Newcastle on December 26.
