SAN FRANCISCO, December 07, (THEWILL) – Manchester United and French midfielder, Paul Pogba, has opened up on his experience when he contracted the coronavirus.
THEWILL recalls that the midfielder tested positive for the virus while he was on duty for his country at the end of August.
Speaking with MUTV on Monday about his coronavirus ordeal, the midfielder stated that he struggled with the effects of coronavirus.
He said: “It’s strange and 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 [would] 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.
“Obviously, it feels good to play again. The lads have been playing really well as well. I had an injury, a long-term injury, I came back, it was strange for me. I wasn’t ready physically, I would say.
“I felt weakness physically. You know, just to play the 90 minutes and carrying on with the games… it’s such a difference. I’m finding my rhythm, as well. I feel so much better, I felt I could go again [against West Ham], control the game, getting the ball.
“That’s what I like, myself. That’s what I think is good for the team. I’m a team player. As long as the team wins, that’s the most important, you know.
“I find myself good and we want to win. That’s why I came here and that’s why I want to be successful.”
