Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick was happy with Paul Pogba's performance in Friday night's FA Cup defeat at home to Middlesbrough.
It was Pogba's first appearance since November.
Rangnick said, "Yes, I think he did well.
"Originally, I didn't intend to let him play 80 minutes but, due to the chronology of the game, we decided to have him on the pitch until 10 minutes from time, before being replaced by Fred. I think he did well.
"He hasn't played for two and half, almost three months, it was his first performance after such a pretty long time. I think he did really well. We are all happy to have him on board for the upcoming games.
"We now have, in the current squad, in each position, we have two players to compete for each position. No matter if it's right-back, centre-back, 6s, 8s, two central strikers and the wingers.
"We currently play most of the game with a 4-3-3 with one holding 6 and two 8s and, as I said, in the wing positions, we also have, for each side now that Jesse (Lingard) is going to stay, two players and it's up to them. In the end, it's up to the players to decide who plays by the quality of their performances in training and in the games."
