Paul Pogba on FaceTime with brother

Paul Pogba has not featured for United since September after aggravating an ankle injury during the 1-1 draw with Arsenal in the Premier League. During the conversation with his brother on FaceTime, Pogba said that he wants nothing more than to recover from injury and return to help his team-mates. He was upset after his side's loss on Saturday admitting it was difficult to watch his side lose without being able to play. Pogba wants to get back on the pitch as soon as possible but insisted the most important thing, for now, is to heal first. Speaking of his injury, Pogba stated that he will be under plaster for another 10 days after which he can start his rehabilitation. Though Pogba aims to be back before the end of November, he is not expected to return from the treatment room before December.

Paul Pogba the answer for United?

Solskjaer, meanwhile, admitted Manchester United’s defeat at Dean Court was a ‘step back’ for his team. Despite Pogba's injury, United were starting to hit top form with their midfielders particularly Scott McTominay impressing in his absence. But against Bournemouth, United's lack of creativity from midfield was evident as the side failed to create anything meaningful throughout the game.
