Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba will be out for few weeks due to injury he sustained in the 3-3 draw with Everton.
The French man has been in excellent form and was performing well before he was replaced by Fred when appearing to suffer a problem that has now been diagnosed as a thigh-muscle injury.

A scan was used to assess the level of the damage and, unfortunately, Pogba now faces an enforced spell on the sidelines with key games at home and abroad coming up.
The world cup winner will miss Tuesday’s Emirates FA Cup fifth-round encounter with West Ham United, including the Europa League ties against Real Sociedad.
“It’s an injury that will take a few weeks to heal,” manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told media. “He’s just started his recovery, working with the medical staff and we’ll get him back as soon and as safely as we can.
“Of course, Paul has been very important for us and we’re not going to take any risks. [So it is] A few weeks definitely.
“You never want to be injured and, especially, now Paul was really finding his form and enjoying his football. For us, we just have to take as many points and wins as possible, when you lose players.
“We’ve been very healthy and strong for a long period so we can’t moan too much.”
