Ole Gunnar Solskjær has revealed Paul Pogba is likely to be out of action for at least another month as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury.
The France midfielder has not featured for Manchester United since the 1-1 draw against Arsenal at the end of last month having sustained the injury earlier in the season against Southampton.
Pogba missed the 3-1 win at Norwich on Sunday and Solskjær admitted the 26-year-old is still a long way from making his return.
“I don’t think we’ll see him before December. He’ll be out for a while,” the United manager said. “He needs time to fully recover so I don’t think he will be back before maybe Sheffield United after the international break but probably December before you can see him.”
Asked to clarify what the issue is, Solskjær said: “I’m not a doctor but there is an injury there that needs healing. There’s no use talking about who’s not going to be here for a long time because he’s not going to come on the pitch and help us.
“Paul’s been brilliant and he is the creative midfielder that we need but then it’s up to the others to step up.”
