Meanwhile, United legend Wayne Rooney thinks head coachOle Gunnar Solskjaer should utilise Pogba in a slightly different role.
"I would love to see Paul Pogba playing deeper and attacking the box the moment the ball went wide," Rooney wrote in his Sunday Times column.
"He would score more goals and with his good feet, his athleticism, he would be an absolute nightmare.
"I would use him in that role — it’s one where, if he developed in it, he could be incredible."

Rooney explained how Pogba can learn from former prolific goalscoring midfielder Frank Lampard.
He added: "The Frank Lampard type [is a nightmare], the midfielder who runs past you: with Frank, when the ball went wide you knew he would be off, sprinting into the box and he was one of those about who Fergie [Sir Alex Ferguson] would say: 'This player is not a one-man job — you have to pass them on'.
"He would say that about some you wouldn’t imagine: Stephen Ireland was one, Jermaine Jenas another, purely because they were willing to run beyond your midfield and with those players there’s going to be a crossover movement from when your central midfielder is dealing with it to when your centre back is.
"One lapse of team concentration in that moment and the best — like Lampard — punish you."
