Man United face the Hammers in the FA Cup on Tuesday.
Pogba and Bailly are unlikely to feature at Old Trafford.
Speaking to the media ahead of the fifth round clash against West Ham at Old Trafford, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “With Paul Pogba and Eric Bailly, I’m not sure if they’re going to be fit. I think Eric is closer than Paul.
“Of course, I think about if Harry Maguire needs a rest. If he physically can’t keep going and going. Then, the nature of a centre-back position is a different position compared to full-backs or wide men or even centre midfielders.
“The centre-backs are the ones that you’re protecting mostly from the real fatigue because you’re working less. Then again, he’s never injured, Harry. But, yeah, I’m not sure if he’ll play on Tuesday or not. I’ve not decided yet.”
Bailly wasn’t included in the matchday squad against Everton on Saturday while Pogba ended up limping off the pitch in the first half with a muscle injury.
As for Maguire, the Red Devils’ skipper could really use a rest given that he has played the most Premier League minutes out of anyone at the club.
