Paul Pogba says he is ready for Manchester United debut

Paul Pogba has said he is ready to make his second debut for Manchester United against Southampton on Friday.

The 23-year-old was suspended from the opening game against Bournemouth, because of a ban carried over from his time at Juventus.

But United’s world-record signing, has declared that he is fit and raring to go, after an extended break.

“You have to ask the manager, but I feel very good and have been training for 10 days. I am okay,” Pogba told the Manchester Evening News.

“I am quite used to this. I played the World Cup two years ago when at Juve and three years ago I was at the U20 World Cup as well. So I am okay. It is about your body and I have been training on my holidays.”

Pogba, who cost United an initial £89m, also dismissed talk that his price tag will weight him down.

He said: “I am just happy to play football, I don’t even think about it.

“My ambition is always be the the No 1 and be the best. So the objective is to win the league. We want to go back to the Champions League because that is where we belong.”
