Man United fear long-term injury layoff for Paul Pogba

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba could miss another two months of first-team action with the club yet to find a solution to his troublesome hamstring injury.

The France international pulled his left hamstring in United's 3-0 triumph over Basel back in September, and he has since been on the sidelines, recuperating from the problem.

According to The Sun, the former Juventus man may not return until the festive period thus missing games against Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester City.

Pogba had impressed alongside Nemanja Matic at the start of the campaign, and his injury has left United short in the midfield department, considering Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini are also out with short-term niggles.

Manchester United had begun their campaign in impressive fashion with six wins out of seven matches, and this sees them trailing Manchester City at the top on only goal difference.

Mourinho's men face a tough-looking trip to Anfield this weekend, and Ander Herrera will have to put up a strong showing alongside Matic in order to shut the exciting Reds attack.
