Paul Pogba and Eric Bailly Back at Manchester United’s Training Ground ahead of Tottenham Clash

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba was back at the club’s training ground today ahead of the Red Devils’ clash with Tottenham Hotspur. The Frenchman has been sidelined since early September after sustaining a hamstring injury against Basel in the Champions League.

Pogba had hoped to return in time to face Swansea City in the League Cup on Tuesday but United have opted to treat the midfielder’s injury conservatively and will not rush him back. The 24-year-old has been working hard in Miami, Florida to get back to full fitness but Jesse Lingard uploaded a video onto Instagram today that confirmed Pogba was back in Manchester.

Pogba was seen moving freely in the corridors of United’s Carrington training ground as United prepare to take on Mauricio Pochettino’s side at the Theatre of Dreams. Meanwhile, Eric Bailly has also returned to full team training after being sidelined for a month. Ander Herrera and Marcus Rashford picked up knocks in Tuesday’s 2-0 win but were also present at training.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Could Make Man United Return this Year, Says Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho is confident Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be available for Manchester United before the end of the year. The Swedish striker - who has been regularly updating his Instagram followers of his rehabilitation from a knee injury - has this week begun doing some very light ball work with the club's coaching staff at Carrington. Ibrahimovic signed a new one-year deal at United on August 24 after the first serious injury of his career cut short a stellar first season at Old Trafford earlier this year. The player's doctor Freddie Fu has warned against rushing his return and United boss Jose Mourinho had previously suggested he will not play for the club in January but has reassessed that prediction. "(Paul) Pogba is not here I don't know when he will be back," he said. "Zlatan is working under our control here as I would expect.
