Manchester United coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has issued a challenge to his star midfielder, Paul Pogba, ahead of their return to the English Premier League.

The 47-year-old Norwegian has made it clear that the French playmaker will be the key component to winning against Tottenham Hotspurs on Friday, 19 June, and has told him to showcase his leadership abilities.

Pogba has played only eight games across all football leagues for United the 2019/20 season due to injuries; the club is currently in fifth place on the log with 45 points.

However, Solskjaer remains optimistic of his star player’s talents and grabbing an easy victory.

Recently discussing tactics with a sports publication, he said: “Of course, [Pogba] has had his difficult season this year with loads of injuries, but I can see his mentality and focus, now that he is fit and training and available.”

The football boss added: “[Pogba] has had a very, very good career. Of course, he is a World Cup winner, and we want to have that leadership on the pitch as well.”
