PAUL POGBA showed he is nearing his Manchester United return with a lung-busting gym workout in Miami.
The Frenchman, 26, has been doing his rehab in warmer climes after suffering an ankle problem that has kept him out since September.
He completed a rigorous workout in a Florida gym before heading to American Airlines Arena for Miami Heat’s 109-94 win over New Orleans Pelicans.
As he enjoyed the NBA game, SunSport exclusively revealed he could be heading to Real Madrid in January, with Gareth Bale going the opposite way to Old Trafford.
Pogba has missed the latest set of internationals after France qualified to Euro 2020 automatically with the world champions currently top of Group H.
But United are hoping he will be back for their Manchester derby clash against Pep Guardiola’s City on December 7.
Pogba yesterday shared a picture of himself and wife Zulay celebrating her birthday with matching pyjamas and their infant son.
The Bolivian model later shared a video of them together driving and it now appears it was taken in Miami.
BIRTHDAY PJS
Pogba has not played for United since their 1-1 draw with Arsenal in September.
Since his absence, Scott McTominay, Fred and Andreas Pereira have been the go-to midfield trio, with Jesse Lingard also getting game time following a dip in form.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has also given minutes to midfield starlet James Garner, 18, who scored two, including a one screamer for England Under-19s on Saturday.
Pogba was also tracked down by Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane when he was training in Dubai.
He shared a video last month of a static bike workout with a panoramic view of the skyscraper-filled city.
