Solksjaer hopeful on Pogba fitness

Manchester United caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer is optimistic about midfielder Paul Pogba returning for this weekend's clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley.

Pogba missed United's FA Cup win over Reading on Saturday because of a knock he picked up at Newcastle last week.

However, the France international has now joined up with the team in Dubai for their warm weather training camp.

Solksjaer has won all five of his matches in charge of United, but has described Sunday's test against Spurs as his first "proper test".

"Paul has had his knock and has had a few days of treatment back home," Solksjaer said.

"Hopefully, we can get Paul on his feet during this week."

The defensive injury crisis at Old Trafford shows no immediate signs of stopping, with Marcos Rojo set to be sidelined for longer than was initially expected.

"Marcos has gone back home because his injury is taking a bit longer than we thought," the United boss said.
