Pogba return can inspire Man Utd to top-four finish - Berbatov

A former Red Devils striker says the Frenchman's return will give the squad an extra "boost" when the Premier League resumes later this month

Dimitar Berbatov has backed Paul Pogba to inspire Manchester United towards a top-four finish after recovering from a long-term injury layoff.

Pogba has been restricted to just eight appearances for United in 2019-20, with a persistent ankle injury limiting his contribution.

The 27-year-old underwent surgery on the injury in January, and was still in recovery when the coronavirus outbreak stopped play in the English top flight on March 13.

The World Cup winner has stepped up his rehabilitation while in self-isolation, making his way back to full fitness in time for United's return to full contact training.
