Manchester United fans online were quick to dismiss Paul Pogba's latest injury whilst on international duty with the French national team. Many fans were unconcerned about the prospect of missing their star midfielder this season.
Paul Pogba picked up a thigh injury which is expected to keep him out of action for most of the remainder of 2021. The 28-year-old midfielder will now miss France's World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Finland and the majority of Manchester United's games in the calendar year.
The French national announced Paul Pogba's latest injury by tweeting:
"Paul Pogba has suffered an injury to the quadriceps of the right thigh and is forced to miss the next two matches. To replace him, Didier Deschamps called on Jordan Veretout."
Manchester United fans on Twitter have reacted to the news, with many suggesting the 28-year-old midfielder was not contributing to the cause and will not make much difference to the team. Here are some of the best tweets from Manchester United fans:
Paul Pogba has divided opinion ever since he rejoined Manchester United back in 2016. The Frenchman arrived from Juventus for a then world-record fee of £89 million.
However, Pogba's lack of consistency has been used as a point against him. The 28-year-old midfielder has made 212 appearances for Manchester United and has contributed to 38 goals and 49 assists.
Paul Pogba is yet to sign a new contract with Manchester United
Despite being one of the most important players in the squad, Paul Pogba is yet to sign a new contract with Manchester United. The former Juventus player has entered the final year of his contract and has so far shown no signs of penning an extension.
If Pogba fails to sign a new contract by January, he will be free to sign a pre-contract with any European giant. This would allow the 28-year-old midfielder to join them on a free transfer come next summer.
Various clubs have shown interest in signing the Manchester United midfielder, with Juventus, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain being the most likely destinations for the World Cup winner.
As things stand, Paul Pogba has had an underwhelming 2021-22 season. The former Juventus star started the season on fire by registering 7 assists in the first 4 games. Since then the 28-year-old midfielder's form has fallen off and has not made a single goal contribution in the remaining games.
