Man Utd star Pogba steps up recovery from injury 'Bruce Lee style'

Manchester United are expecting him to be out “long-term”, but Paul Pogba has stepped up his recovery from a hamstring injury “Bruce Lee style”.

The France international has sat out the Red Devils’ last five fixtures after being forced off early in their Champions League opener against Basel.

Jose Mourinho moved quickly to rubbish suggestions that Pogba could be sidelined for around 12 weeks, but he has since conceded that the 24-year-old faces a lengthy lay-off.

The £89 million man is, however, working hard to cut his recovery time, with inspiration being taken from a legendary figure from the world of film as he hits the gym during the international break.
