When asked about how getting infected by Covid-19 affected his performances for Man United, Paul Pogba told MUTV: “It’s strange, it’s hard to explain because you wouldn’t understand.
“Even in training, I would say to the fitness coach that I feel strange. It’s not me. I get tired very fast and I’m out of breath really fast.
“The first game of the season, I couldn’t run. I was trying. I spoke with the manager, ‘I will start the game and let’s see,’ but I was very out of breath and it took me a long time to get me back to my fitness and to get back physically good.”
Pogba tested positive for coronavirus during the summer break and missed a lot of pre-season training due to that. It seems like the disease left some lasting impact on his health and didn’t allow him to perform to his best.
The Frenchman looked really good in United’s win over West Ham on Saturday and even scored a brilliant goal to help kick-start the comeback win, indicating that he is regaining his full fitness quickly.
