Will we see Paul Pogba again wearing the Red Devils jersey? The French international suffered a calf injury on Tuesday after less than 10 minutes in the Premier League match between Manchester United and Liverpool.
“It is very unlikely that he will play until the end of the season”Manchester United interim coach Ralf Rangnick announced on Friday (April 22). “The doctor told me that he will need at least four weeks to recover and the last match is at the end of May” he added.

Since he is at the end of his contract, Pogba, 29, will therefore perhaps no longer appear in the colors of the English club where he has been playing since 2016. He had made a first stint there before several seasons at Juventus Turin (2012 to 2016).
The French midfielder arrived at United in 2009 from Le Havre before returning to the Red Devils after a successful spell at Juventus Turin. The transfer, for an amount of 105 million euros, set a world record at the time.
Although Paul Pogba won the Europa League and the League Cup during his second spell at Manchester United, he largely disappointed and irritated English fans with often mediocre performances, far from those he presented in the national team. France, and by repeated desires to go elsewhere. The player was thus booed when he was substituted during the match against Norwich last Saturday.
Just listen to the TRA & the Stretford End booing Paul Pogba at full time also chants of fuck off Pogba when he was substituted. Think it tells you all how the fans feel about him. Should have been so different when he came back but hasn’t been so. #MUFC #Pogba #PaulPogba pic.twitter.com/OikVK7yrW1

After their stinging loss against Liverpool, the Red Devils occupy 6th place in the Premier League with 54 points. They face Arsenal (5th, 57 points) on Saturday in a match that could prove crucial to move up to 4th place, synonymous with qualification for the Champions League.
