‘A week ago I was told it would take another four or five weeks,’ said Rangnick. ‘I've seen him this morning before the training session but currently I don't know how long it will take.

‘He's not training with the team yet. As far as I know from the medical department, it will last another three weeks or four weeks, and once he is then fit for training it does not necessarily mean he is also match fit. It will probably take a couple of weeks before he is really able to compete for the first team.

‘It’s one thing to be training fit but, on the other hand, he needs to be fit for the match and competition in either the Premier League or the Champions League and this will still take some time.’

Pogba’s contract expires in the summer and the French man will be free to walk for free when the season expires with former Club Juventus and Real Madrid thought to be interested in the Manchester United midfielder.
