Pogba nears return and three more things spotted in Manchester United training ahead of FA Cup tie
02.02.2022 - 01:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United stepped up their preparations for a return to action in Monday's training session.
Most of the United squad have enjoyed a break from the intense season this past week during the Premier League's winter break, though Fred, Edinson Cavani and Alex Telles were all called away, and remain on, international duty.
Refreshed after spending time on holiday, the majority of the team returned to Carrington on Monday ahead of their first game back in the FA Cup against Middlesbrough on Friday.
Ralf Rangnick put his team through their paces and here are four things we spotted:
Paul Pogba wasn't expected to be back in training until the end of February due to his thigh injury but Rangnick was left stunned by his miraculous return to the pitch ahead of the victory against West Ham.
The Frenchman wasn't ready to make his comeback in the match but a further two weeks of training and recovery means he is in contention to be back in the team on Friday.
Pogba was looking sharp in the session and must be chomping at the bit to play his first game under the new manager.
Tahith Chong was back in United training for the first time since the summer on Monday.
The Dutch winger had been enjoying himself on loan at Birmingham City but suffered a ruptured thigh tendon which required surgery in early November and put the brakes on his season.
Chong returned to United for his rehabilitation and is now ahead of schedule on his road to recovery as he returned to the field to work one-on-one with a fitness coach, though he is still a couple of weeks away from a return to full training.
He has been missed by Birmingham but is expected to return to the Midlands this month to see out the rest of the campaign.
