Paul Pogba picked up a thigh injury last month and has been recovering in Dubai, but Ralf Rangnick wants him back at Carrington.
Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has instructed Paul Pogba to return from Dubai as the midfielder continues to recover from his thigh injury.
While on international duty with France last month, the 28-year-old sustained the problem during team training. Since then, he has been enjoying the sun in the middle Eastern country as he goes through rehabilitation as agreed with former coach Solskjaer.
However, Rangnick arrived after the Norwegian’s sacking last month and the new boss is not quite happy with Pogba staying in Dubai. In fact, the pair had a phone conversation and the German manager has asked the midfielder to come back to Carrington for his further recovery.
Ahead of Man Utd’s Premier League game against Norwich City, Rangnick said of Pogba: “We spoke over the phone on Tuesday.”
“He was still in Dubai. He is expected to come back today and then we will get to know each other in person on Sunday. We had a phone call for about 10 to 15 mins. He told me that he is getting better but obviously still not fully fit.”
“From what I’ve heard it will take another couple of weeks until he is fit for training again. And then because he has been out for quite some time, it will take another couple of weeks to get him to be match fit.”
“In the first instance it’s he gets fully fit to be able to train with the rest of the group then we have to develop him physically and tactically to be also fit to play in the Premier League.”
