Paul Pogba is undertaking individual coaching sessions with Michael Carrick as the Manchester United star steps up his bid to regain fitness and stay at Old Trafford.

The Frenchman's season has failed to get going, with his latest ankle injury keeping him out since the start of January following an operation to fix it.

The unprecedented postponement of football last Friday due to the coronavirus has given United more time to get Pogba back to full fitness, with the hope that the midfielder will be available when games start being played again.

And according to The Athletic, Pogba is taking part in personal coaching sessions with United first-team coach Michael Carrick, away from the main group of players.

The duo have done ball work together as coaching staff look to optimise Pogba's mobility in the problematic ankle, as well as getting his fitness up to scratch.

His right ankle has yet to be tested with full contact, the report states, while the midfielder is said to be a touch rusty as he makes his return to training.

Carrick and fellow first-team coach Kieran McKenna have taken on a hands-on role with the playing group since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over from Jose Mourinho in 2018, and the hope is that Carrick's expertise can only benefit the Frenchman.

It comes after Sportsmail reported that Pogba had performed a U-turn on his future, with the World Cup winner seemingly insistent on leaving Old Trafford this summer.

However, with the club's upturn in form, partly down to the arrival of Bruno Fernandes, Pogba is open to signing fresh terms and committing his future to the Red Devils.

Tensions between the club and Pogba's agent Mino Raiola had reached boiling point earlier this year but there is the hope that a deal can be thrashed out between all three parties.

The Premier League season is currently suspended until April 4 due to the coronavirus outbreak, with the Europa League and Champions League put on hold also.
