Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed Paul Pogba is available for Manchester United’s showdown against Tottenham at Wembley on Sunday.
The Frenchman sat out the FA Cup third-round win against Reading last time out after sustaining a knock to the back of his right leg following a challenge from Newcastle midfielder Jonjo Shelvey.
Pogba initially remained in Manchester to go undergo further treatment before joining his team-mates in Dubai for their warm-weather training camp this week.
Upon their return, caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “He looked okay towards the end there, so he’ll be fit.
“He did have some problems but he came through the last couple of sessions well, so he should be okay.”
Marcos Rojo left the training camp early as his injury is taking longer to heal than expected.
Rojo has made just three appearances all season and Solskjaer revealed the defender has returned to his home country to continue his recovery.
The Norwegian added: “He’s gone back to Argentina for a while because of his injury.
“Mentally it was important for him to get away and then come back fresh again.”
Solskjaer rejected the consensus that Sunday’s showdown at Wembley marks the first acid test of his reign.
United have seen off Cardiff, Huddersfield, Bournemouth and Newcastle – all of whom are in the bottom half of the table – in the league while they defeated Reading in the FA Cup last weekend to extend Solskjaer’s perfect start.
Solskjaer said: “No we have had tests, Newcastle away is a test and first game how everyone reacted is a test, first home game with the crowd is a test, every single game you get tested.
“But this is against top, top side. If we want to go closer and get past them we need a good performance and a good result.”
