Paul Pogba has ’50-50 chance’ of being ready for Manchester United’s clash with Man City

The last of those matches came on Boxing Day and he subsequently needed surgery on an ankle problem.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently admitted he was not sure when the midfielder would be back in the first-team squad.

Reports in France say the 26-year-old could be on the brink of a return to action.

L’Equipe claim the France World Cup winner has a ’50-50 chance’ of making it for the derby with Manchester City on March 8 in the Premier League.

The report also states that Pogba has more chance of being fit for their clash with Tottenham the following week.

Even though Pogba has been out of the United team, he has not been out of the spotlight with speculation over his future continuing to grow.
