Manchester United great Paul Scholes insists Paul Pogba doesn't deserve an instant start.

Scholes believes Pogba's prolonged absence means the 27-year-old will have to prove himself to boss Ole Gunnnar Solskjaer all over again.

“Paul has got a little bit of work to do to get into the team," said Scholes.

“Before the outbreak happened and the stop happened, you have to say that the players that were playing – Nemanja Matic, Scott McTominay and Fred – they were really doing well in midfield.

“It's not going to be straightforward for Paul. He's got some work on his hands just to get back into the team.

“But we all know what Paul's capable of. He's a top player when he's on form.

“The better players you play with - surely that can only be to the benefit of the team."
