Am happy to have Paul Pogba back and he might play from start, reveals Ralf Rangnick

The Frenchman has not played for United since their 2-2 draw against Atlanta in November having picked up a serious groin injury a week later while on international duty with France. Pogba’s deal at United is set to expire at the end of the season and the midfielder could leave the club on a free transfer. The former Juventus star is set to make his return from injury and Rangnick has suggested that the midfielder could feature from the start.

“I’m happy to have him back in the squad and he might be playing from the start tomorrow. I see his best possible position for me as one of the central midfield positions as either an 8 or 10 but the way we’re currently playing I’d rather see him in the 8 position but we’ll have to see. It's up to him now his contract is expiring in the summer and if in the end, he would like to stay or go somewhere else he has to show up,” the German said in his pre-match press conference.
