'Pogba been advised by his people' - Solskjaer says Man Utd star set for ankle operation

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer isn't sure how long Paul Pogba will be absent, but revealed the midfielder is set to have an ankle operation after being advised by 'his people'.

The France international was again missing from the squad as the Red Devils went down 2-0 to Arsenal in a lacklustre performance at the Emirates on New Year's Day.

When asked to estimate Pogba's return date from injury, Solskjaer was vague but pointedly let slip that the player's advisors had made the decision to have surgery on the troublesome ankle.
