Examining Manchester United's Midfield Options in the Absence of Paul Pogba

All is not well in Jose Mourinho's Manchester United camp. The combination of a punishing fixture schedule and a relative lack of rotation is taking its toll.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's suspension coincided with injuries to Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney. Now Ander Herrera's suspension—earned through two yellow cards against Chelsea in the FA Cup on Monday night—has been compounded by injury to Paul Pogba.

Pogba limped out of Thursday night's win over FC Rostov in the Europa League. After the game, Mourinho indicated he thought the France international would be out for around three weeks with an injured hamstring, per Sky Sports' Mark Crellin.
