Jose Mourinho has confirmed Paul Pogba is ready to play 'some minutes' against Southampton on Friday.
However the Manchester United manager couldn't say whether or not the club's record signing will start.
Pogba had an extended break after his Euro 2016 campaign with France and was suspended for United's league game against Bournemouth .
"We played with some players against Leicester with less training than Paul," Mourinho said.
"We had guys coming back from the Euros, who were on holidays, had one week of training and they played against Leicester, not at the top of their game, not ready for 90 minutes.
"But they played and performed and it was a good way for them to accelerate that process. In this moment they are in the building-up process of their form.
"Paul has been training for more than a week, around 10, 11 days, adaptation is really easy because he is a boy from here, he knows the club, he knows everybody. There's no need for time to adapt.
"He needs time to build his condition and his understanding in the way the team tries to play. Yes, he's ready to play. Ninety minutes? I don't believe.
"Super performance? I don't believe. But in condition to accelerate his process of integration in the team, that's for sure."
