The Red Devils star has been left out of the club's latest squad with fears the pitch they're set to play on could aggravate an injury
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he would not have risked Paul Pogba on an artificial surface even if he was fit to face AZ in the Europa League.
France international Pogba suffered an ankle injury in August and only returned to action in the EFL Cup tie with Rochdale last week.
He featured in Monday's 1-1 Premier League draw with Arsenal at Old Trafford, though was not among the travelling squad ahead of Thursday's European fixture as his ankle "requires a period of further rest".
