themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-18--Manchester United coaches notice Mason Greenwood change in training

Mason Greenwood has used the suspension of football to develop into a more physical striker , according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer .
Greenwood , 18 , has already scored 12 goals in his breakthrough season for Manchester United and started 16 times after a propitious pre-season in Australia and Asia .
The arrival of Odion Ighalo on loan in January has restricted Greenwood to one start and United negotiated an extension for Ighalo 's loan until January 2021 , but Greenwood inked a new contract with United earlier in the campaign .
England coach Gareth Southgate has suggested the one-year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Greenwood to break into the senior squad and Solskjaer is encouraged with how Greenwood has beefed up during the three-month absence of competitive football .
`` Mason is a young boy , '' Solskjaer said .
`` He 's still 18 and this lockdown period has done him all the good in the world because , at his age , they do develop and fill out and Mason ’ s looking more and more like a man , so definitely it will help him .
`` Sometimes early on you could see he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he can use his strength better and he has done really well over the three or four weeks we have been training now .
And his quality in front of goal has always been there and now he has muscle to push defenders away .
`` I am not sure it was deliberate but the fitness coaches have worked really well with him .
He has got the rest and recovery period after for him what must have been an intense first full season with the first team .
He is looking good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seeing more of Mason , he will score more goals .
He has filled out over the lockdown period and his performances in training have been great as well .
`` So I am sure he will have an impact on the rest of the season . ''
United are unbeaten in their last 11 as they prepare to resume their campaign at Tottenham on Friday night and the quick turnaround between seasons could fuel momentum at the club , provided United have a successful run-in .
Solskjaer previously outlined his ambition to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , while reluctant to look too far ahead , is at least targeting a higher finish in the table next year .
`` I am very happy with the squad and if we go into next season with a short pre-season , with the same attitude and desire that they have shown now , I am sure we can move up the table , '' he added .
`` I don ’ t want to start thinking too far ahead because Tottenham is on my mind at the moment and it 's a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do feel we are moving in the right direction .
`` And given the likes of Marcus [ Rashford ] , Mason , Aaron [ Wan-Bissaka ] , Brandon [ Williams ] a year extra , plus the impact Bruno [ Fernandes ] has made , hopefully we can go on and challenge . ''

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-18--Man United manager Solskjaer hints at plans for Paul Pogba return

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has indicated Paul Pogba could be eased back into the Manchester United side after a six-month absence .
Pogba , 27 , has started just six times this season due to ankle problems but is fit again and if he is involved at Spurs on Friday night it will be his first appearance in 176 days .

`` Of course , Paul has had his difficult season this year with loads of injuries but I can see his mentality and focus now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ available , that he is ready to play again and to prove [ himself ] .
`` He has always had quality , Paul .

So gradually over these next few months we can work him up back to his best .
Paul has had a very good career .

Pogba, 27, has started just six times this season due to ankle problems but is fit again and if he is involved at Spurs on Friday night it will be his first appearance in 176 days. Pogba has not started for United since September 30.
Bruno Fernandes has enhanced the United midfield and that department was in rude health at the time of the mid-March lockdown, with Nemanja Matic, Scott McTominay, and Fred all in fine form.
Pogba has not scored a goal from open play in nearly 16 months and his preparations for this season were overshadowed by doubts over his United future, but Solskjaer insists the France international is still one of the best midfielders on the planet.
"Yeah, I really hope and believe," Solskjaer said when asked if United would soon see the best of Pogba. "Of course, Paul has had his difficult season this year with loads of injuries but I can see his mentality and focus now that he is fit and training and available, that he is ready to play again and to prove [himself].
"He has always had quality, Paul. He is one of the best midfielders in the world, so hopefully we can get that going as soon as possible.
"I want the same from Paul as from all the others - that we give our best and Paul is one of the best midfielders in the world, so we expect him to gradually improve as he gets more and more game time.
"I don’t know if it’s 45 minutes this time, is it 60? So gradually over these next few months we can work him up back to his best. Paul has had a very good career. He is a World Cup winner and we want to have that leadership on the pitch as well."
United have been buoyed not just by the return of Pogba but Marcus Rashford, who has recovered from a back injury he aggravated in January. Both are expected to be named in the matchday squad at Tottenham, where Solskjaer can pick two more players and make up to five substitutions under new Premier League rules for the remainder of the season.
Despite going 99 days without a competitive game, United are still undefeated in 11 and Solskjaer is optimistic they can have a successful run-in with Chelsea only three points above them in the table. United will resume their FA Cup campaign in the quarter-finals at Norwich next week and they are bound for Germany to compete in the knockout stages of the Europa League in August.
"I hope that we can show our best form until the end of the season because it’s a big two months for us," Solskjaer added. "And if we can get everyone up to speed as quick as we can we have got a good chance of challenging for trophies and challenging for the top three positions, because I think we have to look upwards.
"The first couple of games in a new season, which this is, a mini-season, things always seem to happen - individual mistakes, a referee makes a mistake or even Hawkeye makes a mistake [in the Aston Villa-Sheffield United draw], and we hope that we can get a good start against Tottenham.
"With Paul and Marcus back, having everyone fit will stand us in good stead and we hope to challenge for trophies towards the end."

Fernandinho left Brazil at the age of 20 for Ukraine and hopes to return to Brazil before too long, adding he will discuss his future with City at the end of his new deal.
"I hope it doesn’t take too long to happen, right? Because time goes by, our body changes too, so it gets a little complicated," he told Brazilian outlet Gazeta do Povo.

He said: "I think we have to be realistic and know the reality of Brazilian clubs in relation to European clubs.
"Obviously, in a possible return to Brazil, I will have to consider all this too.
"Not only financial change, but family change, children to adapt to a new lifestyle.
"Without a doubt at the right time we will sit and talk and after the talks, make a decision."
