Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is still not in top form despite recovering from the coronavirus.
Pogba was substituted shortly after the hour mark in the second consecutive Premier League game after another moderate performance in United’s victory at Brighton.
The 27-year-old tested positive for COVID-19 last month and began training with United just over two weeks ago and was selected in the starting lineup against Crystal Palace last week but struggled.
Despite Pogba’s form, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the Frenchman will have benefited from his two starts.
“He missed a lot of preseason because of his illness,” Solskjaer said. “He has not had international games or the friendly against Villa. The two 65 minutes he has had will help him and he will get better and better.”
United rallied from a Solly March draw in the 95th minute to claim three points in Brighton on a Bruno Fernandes penalty that was released after referee Chris Kavanagh blew the final whistle.
