- Pogba's absence last season caused us some problems. Unfortunately, Paul is now doing preparatory work before returning to training. Our main task at the moment is to get Paul back to his optimum condition. I don't think I will be able to put him on the pitch in the friendly matches against Milan and Real Madrid.

Pogba feels good, but he needs to work carefully to avoid a relapse. Last season, everything seemed to be going according to plan, but suddenly there was a recurrence of the injury. This should not happen," said Massimiliano Allegri.

It should be added that last season Paul Pogba played only six matches.
