Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that midfielder Paul Pogba’s picked up a thigh injury while international duty with France.

The injury could rule him out for three months.

Pogba limped out of a routine training session with fears that he would only be out for between eight and ten weeks, while he recovers.

The optimism was before United had the chance to look closer at him.

Solskjaer said that such a quick return is possible, but he stressed that injuries of this nature usually take a little longer to heal up.

“Yes, I would say it will be [months rather than weeks],” Solskjaer said. “It was a disappointing injury for Paul, a disappointing time for him.

“Sometimes you hope and have your fingers crossed for six or seven weeks but the worst case scenario is ten,11, 12 weeks with muscle injuries like this.”
