Paul Pogba has declared himself fit for Manchester United's game against Southampton
Paul Pogba says he is fit enough to make his second Manchester United debut against Southampton on Friday Night Football.
A ban carried over from his time at Juventus meant Pogba missed out at Bournemouth on Sunday as the Jose Mourinho era began with a 3-1 win.
But United's world-record signing has declared himself ready for action despite an extended break after helping France finish runners-up at Euro 2016.
"You have to ask the manager, but I feel very good and have been training for 10 days. I am okay," Pogba said in the Manchester Evening News ahead of Friday's match, which will be live on Sky Sports 1.
"I am quite used to this. I played the World Cup two years ago when at Juve and three years ago I was at the U20 World Cup as well. So I am okay. It is about your body and I have been training on my holidays."
Pogba cost United an initial £89m which surpassed the fees Real Madrid paid for Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.
He said: "I am just happy to play football, I don't even think about it.
"My ambition is always be the the No 1 and be the best. So the objective is to win the league. We want to go back to the Champions League because that is where we belong."
