Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: Paul Pogba Will Be Fit for Tottenham vs. Manchester United

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Paul Pogba will be fit to face Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Pogba was recuperating from a leg injury during the Red Devils' training camp in Dubai, and Solskjaer is confident the midfielder is ready to return to action.

Per Chris Wheeler for the Daily Mail, he said: "He looked OK towards the end, so he'll be fit. He did have some problems but came through the last couple of sessions well."

Pogba did not take part in United's 2-0 win over Reading in the FA Cup last time out, but he has been reignited by Solskjaer's arrival at Old Trafford.

The France international contributed four goals and three assists in the Norwegian's first four games in charge as caretaker manager, and his team-mates' attacking output has also improved, as WhoScored.com highlighted:

Solskjaer has injected more freedom and positivity into the Red Devils' play than predecessor Jose Mourinho, and that has proved an effective tactic to getting much more from his players.

Where the Portuguese coach would likely have approached an away game against a top-six opponent with a defensive mindset, Solskjaer says he will still be looking for his team to push forward when possible:

"You always adapt to any opponent. They are one of best in the league so we have to be aware of their strengths. But we need to attack teams, that is our strength—going forward, attacking. We have to.

"We are not going to get as many chances to attack against these as we had before so when we have the ball we have to be ready to play well with it, and we have to use the whole pitch because Wembley is a decent size pitch as well."

United have done well under Solskjaer, winning each of his five matches in charge, but the highest-placed side in the Premier League they have faced is Bournemouth, who were 11th at the time.

Tottenham occupy third, so a trip to face them will be a useful barometer of where United are at in terms of their recent improvement.

Pogba's performance will have a significant impact on the outcome of the match too.

He hasn't had as much influence on United's biggest games as they would have liked since his return to Old Trafford in 2016, but if he can apply his recent form to this clash with a stronger opponent, it could be a promising sign of things to come from him.
