Paul Pogba is looking to reward the faith shown in him by Sir Alex Ferguson after the boss opted against sending him out on loan this season.[LNB] Ferguson's decision suggests Pogba is in his thoughts for the first team this term, a step the French midfielder - who made his senior United debut as a substitute in last month's Carling Cup victory over Leeds - is eager to make.[LNB]"A possible loan to a Championship club was discussed early in the season, but Sir Alex said he did not want me to leave," Pogba told the French Football Federation website.[LNB]"That makes me want to prove he was right in trusting me. I am proud of what I'm doing. I'm getting closer to the first team and I hope to progress further this season."[LNB]Pogba was a half-time replacement for Ryan Giggs in the Leeds game and, although admitting nerves played their part, the 18-year-old was delighted to get his chance.[LNB]"I was nervous but so happy to be among players like Michael Carrick, Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen," he said. "It was a nice taste of the first team and made me want even more."
