Manchester United look set to welcome back Paul Pogba for the game against Arsenal on Monday, and the news has been welcomed by plenty of Red Devils supporters.
The French midfielder has missed the last three fixtures for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side with an ankle injury but looks set to return to the squad when Unai Emery’s men visit Old Trafford.
Talking to United’s official app, cited by football.london, Solskjaer revealed he is expecting Pogba to partly feature against Rochdale on Wednesday evening and is hoping to ‘definitely’ have him available against the Gunners.
He’ll probably get some minutes against Rochdale. But we definitely think he’s ready for Arsenal.
Manchester United fan page @UnitedStandMUFC also shared the news on social media, adding that Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood could also return to action against the Gunners.

Read Arsenal verdict
United have struggled without Pogba’s presence in midfield, scoring just once from open play in the games against Leicester City, FC Astana and West Ham.
They lacked a cutting edge against the Hammers last weekend, so Martial and Greenwood will give Solskjaer that edge needed in attack.
The fixture appears to be vital for Emery and Solskjaer, with the pair both finding themselves under pressure after performances in recent weeks.
