Paul Pogba’s absence from the Manchester United squad to face Arsenal at the Emirates this evening has prompted a huge reaction on social media.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had claimed that the Frenchman was set to be available for the game in his pre-match press conference. But he has now confirmed that he will be ruled out for for a further ‘few weeks’ after having trouble with his ankle.
Many United fans on social media are not convinced, with suggestions that the fact he is not in the squad again could be an indication that he will leave Old Trafford this month.
