Manchester United star Paul Pogba wants to return to the starting XI within the next month, according to reports. The midfielder has barely played this season due to injuries, and has been tipped to leave Old Trafford during the summer.
Pogba has only featured seven times in the Premier League this campaign.
The Frenchman made two of those seven appearances from the bench, due to long-term ankle injuries.
He suffered the initial injury after a game against Southampton in August last year, and has only played 90 minutes once since then.
Pogba had ankle surgery in January, and caused controversy after United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinted that the player would decide his own recovery time.

Now, however, after the signing of Bruno Fernandes, it appears he could be set to return soon.
The Daily Mail reports that the Frenchman wants to be back on the training pitch within the next two weeks, and then return to the team another two weeks after that.
If that timetable is correct, he could be in the team to face Manchester City in the derby on March 8.
United are in desperate need of improvement, and currently sit eighth in the table.
