“Obviously [injuries] is something which will happen,” Pogba told KlitchskoOfficial, the Klitschko brothers’ official YouTube channel.
“You have to get ready for that. It can be very bad, or it can be a small injury.
“The most important thing is to come back and not to get injured again.
“So come back stronger. Be careful not coming back too early, and then obviously going back on the pitch and being better than when you left. That is my mindset and I will carry on doing this.

“If you don’t sleep enough, you could get muscle soreness and muscle injuries.
“You have to eat healthy, rest a lot as well, train, get strength on your muscle to prevent those injuries, and after that you won’t get injured if you have those categories on point.”
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already revealed that Pogba still faces a number of weeks on the sidelines.
Ahead of the club’s Europa League tie against Club Brugge, Solskjaer said: “He’s not been part of team training yet. He’s not anywhere near that yet.”
