Pogba's Man United Return Delayed By Illness

MANCHESTER, England (AP) – The likelihood of Paul Pogba resuming his Manchester United career this year diminished further after manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said illness had delayed the midfielder’s return to training.

In comments made on Sunday but published only on Tuesday, Solskjaer said Pogba had been off for three days after being “struck down ill” and it had “probably set him back quite a bit.”

Videos were posted on social media on Monday of Pogba dancing at his brother Florentin's wedding outside Paris, which took place on Friday.

Pogba has played just six games for United this season - and not since September because of an ankle injury - fueling speculation about his future at the club.
