Paul Pogba out for six to eight weeks after Man United star suffers a thigh injury

Paul Pogba could be out of action for the rest of the year after sustaining a thigh injury on international duty with France.

Sportsmail understands the Manchester United midfielder will be out for between six and eight weeks, delivering another hammer blow to under-pressure manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Pogba still has one game of a three-match domestic suspension to serve following his red card against Liverpool last month, so he would have been unavailable for the trip to Watford after the international break anyway.
