Paul Pogba sends message on Instagram as he returns for Manchester United after over five weeks out

Paul Pogba has hinted he's ready and raring to go ahead of the Europa League showdown with AC Milan.

Manchester United have been without the World Cup winner for their last nine matches after he picked up a hamstring problem during the 3-3 draw against Everton at Old Trafford on February 6.

In his absence, United have dropped out of the Premier League title race - despite beating champions-elect Manchester City - but they are hopeful of winning silverware this season.

With an FA Cup quarter-final against Leicester City to look forward to, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side also head to Milan to take on the rejuvenated Italian giants for a place in the last eight of the Europa League.

And, with the scores locked at 1-1 after the first leg at Old Trafford, Pogba has given them a timely injury boost ahead of the second game.

Alongside a picture of him back in training, the Frenchman wrote on Instagram: "Let's get back to work, fellas!"

Pogba, who turned 28 on Monday, returned to full training with the United squad earlier this week, along with Donny van de Beek and striker Edinson Cavani.

Amad scored his first goal for the club in last week's game but his effort was cancelled out by Simon Kjaer's last-minute header.

It means that it's all to play for in the second leg - with Pogba's injury return set to boost United.
