Pogba was a second-half substitute in the 4-1 loss and finished in good shape and spirits.

"On a personal level, it’s always good to be back on the pitch and try to help my team," Pogba said.

"The cheers from the crowd really warmed my heart. Of course, I was focused on my own game, but I heard them clearly and it was really nice. 

"I feel great now, I’m trying to get some playing time and get back to full fitness, that will come with time. 

"I’m here to help the team as much as possible until the end of the season.

"I’m still here, so from what I’ve heard, we’re in it for the long haul. For me, I’m only focused on the upcoming matches, getting fit, and helping the team."
