This comes amid claims Pogba could stay on the sidelines for up to 10 weeks after injuring his right thigh in training with France.

According to SunSport, the development implies the Frenchman could be out until January - the same time he can begin talks with foreign clubs over a potential summer move when his United contract will expire.

The publication claims discussions over a new deal at Old Trafford have been completely shelved plunging Pogba's future at the club into uncertainty.

It is believed United chiefs are fed up with the circus surrounding discussions over a new deal, with Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, proving to be a stumbling block.

The Red Devils are now thought to be more than willing to let the 28-year-old depart even for nothing.

The World Cup-winning midfielder has failed to live up to his billing since his return to the club from Juventus when United paid a then British record of £89 million to re-sign him from the Italian club.

Only recently the 28-year-old picked a red card while in action against Liverpool and he was due to miss United's trip to Vicarage Road to take on Watford.

Pogba's injury

Earlier, TUKO.co.ke reported Paul Pogba may not be available for France's World Cup qualifying games against Kazakhstan and Finland in the coming days.

The France international withdrew from training and is doubtful for Les Bleues' two matches in the coming days.

Pogba also missed two of Manchester United's Premier League games against Tottenham and Man city through suspension.
