'He's got some work on his hands just to get back in the team': Paul Scholes says Paul Pogba has to prove he's worthy of place in Man United midfield when season resumes after ankle injury woes

Paul Pogba needs to prove he's worthy of a place in the Manchester United midfield when the season resumes, according to Old Trafford legend Paul Scholes.

The France midfielder hasn't played for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side since Boxing Day and underwent ankle surgery in January.

Now back to full fitness, Pogba will be hoping to win his place back in the United side when they play their first Premier League match back at Tottenham Hotspur on June 19.
