Paul Pogba is reportedly eager to play a role in Manchester United's run-in this season and could be back playing again inside a month.

The France international has been plagued by injury this term. He has started just five Premier League games and been sidelined with an ankle problem since Boxing Day, when he last turned out in a 4-1 win against Newcastle United.

However, per the Daily Mail's Sami Mokbel, Pogba hopes to return to outdoor training inside two weeks and could then be available to play again soon after that.
