That's not true, Pogba was always a injury prone player.Pogba and Martial were both good, young and talented footballer before Ole got his hands on them. After Ole they are broken and hardly footballers anymore. Dubai is a great place for recovering. Virgil van Dijk did it, Memphis did it (just example because they are Dutch). Dubai has superb facilities and its nice weather too. Recovering from an injury is bad enough, why not do it at a place that has the best facilities, nice weather and where rich people seem to love spending their time.
Martial played with injuries, he told so in interviews and sure looked like he did. Right now it looks like Martial isnt even able to sprint and dribble anymore. Rashford played with injuries. Pogba came back from injuries only to go off injured again. Surely that seems rushed. Ole doesnt have to be mean to get players to play with an injury. He can also be nice so, if asked, the player is willing to sacrifice for him. Who knows. It could all be a coincidence but Ole was fighting tooth and nail to keep his job so why not risk a few players in the proces? He seems a nice man so surely he didnt intend to break the player but that doesnt mean it cant happen.
2014-15 - missed 50 days
2017-18 - missed 63 days
2018-19 - missed 18 days even before Ole took over
2019-20 - he barely played and was injured
People talk about that Watford game or other game where he played 45 mins before getting injured but he was already injury prone before that.
Plenty of players said they played with injuries, Evra said it, Rooney said it and even Terry said it. It's nothing new and even today most players play with injuries and taking injections. Football players will barely be a injury/pain free once they start playing 3 games a week.
