Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Paul Pogba is 'raring to go' for the Premier League return.

The World Cup winning midfielder has only featured eight times this season due to injury.

And although Solskjaer admits Pogba isn't quite ready to start, the Frenchman can't wait to get back in the action.

"Paul has had a difficult season. But he's been excited, he's raring to go," said Solskjaer. "He's worked hard, he's been in a good mood and he's ready to step up now.

"We've seen glimpses in the training sessions and in the [friendly] game against West Brom [how he might combine with Fernandes] but good players can always play together.

"Paul's main thing now is to get his rhythm back, get proper match fit. I don't think anyone can expect Paul and Marcus to be flying straight away. We have to accept they might take a few games before they're really where they were.

"But I'm patient with that, getting game time to make sure he's fit and back to 100 per cent."
