Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Paul Pogba has suffered a recurrence of his ankle injury that will keep him out of action for a further spell.
The France international midfielder was expected to be in the squad for Manchester United’s squad for their first game of 2020, against Arsenal on New Year's Day.
Solskjaer said he thought Pogba would make the squad when asked if he would be avalable for the game against the Gunners. His name was not on the team sheet and his manager was pressed on the issue ahead of kick-off at the Emirates Stadium.
