Paul Pogba was left out of the Manchester United squad against West Bromwich Albion
Manchester United star Paul Pogba was not part of the squad that faced off against West Bromwich Albion yesterday.
The French international has been in the news recently due to his comments while being away with the national team squad. (h/t MEN)
The 27-year-old played for France during the international break against Finland, Portugal and Sweden. He picked up a knock in the last of those three games. (h/t MEN)
Speaking to MUTV (h/t MEN), manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed by the club that this was the reason why he was left out of the clash at Old Trafford.
“Paul has got a knock and he started feeling it yesterday before the session and he couldn’t carry on. Hopefully he’ll still be ok for Tuesday, but we still don’t know.”
While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expects him to be fit to face Istanbul Basaksehir on Tuesday, his availability is far from being certain. (h/t MEN)
The United star has had an underwhelming season where he has failed to hit his heights. With just 18 months left on his current deal, his future has once again been called into question.

Given his performances for the club since returning in 2016, a move away would be the best bet for all parties involved. Pogba has failed to reach the heights expected of him and has not become the franchise player that the club hoped he would be.
