Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is using the coronavirus lockdown to step up his return to fitness after an injury-plagued season.

Pogba had made just eight appearances for United this season before the health crisis forced the suspension of the Premier League in March.The French World Cup winner hasn't played a single match in 2020 due to his persistent ankle problems.

His last appearance came in a Dec 26 win over Newcastle, but Pogba has been keeping fit during the virus break and hopes to be ready if the Premier League can return in the summer."I can do some training, some running, some bike, go outside and do some things with the ball. I am just keeping busy and keeping healthy."We have got to stay motivated, there is no other choice.

Pogba, 27, has been in regular contact with his United team-mates during the lockdown as they follow the club's fitness regime from home. Linked with a move away from fifth-placed United earlier this season, Pogba's presence would boost their bid for Champions League qualification if matches can be played again eventually."There is always a way to work, you can work with anything you have at home, you can still do sit-ups, push-ups."
