Paul Pogba will miss the rest of February through injury, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed.

The Frenchman is recovering from an injury sustained in the Red Devil’s clash with Everton on February 7 at Old Trafford. Pogba was forced off in the second half in United's epic 3-3 draw with the Merseyside club and after a scan on the issue, the 27-year-old is confirmed to miss the rest of February.

“He's recovering well, he's starting the treatment,” United boss Solskjaer said of Pogba.

“It'll still be a good few weeks, so he won't be playing in February, that's for sure. Still a few weeks until we see Paul, definitely.”

Manchester United will host Real Sociedad on Thursday at the Juventus Allianz Stadium due to travel restrictions imposed on some countries across Europe.

Newcastle United is in the waiting on Sunday 21, before a return leg of the Europa League is honoured the following week at Old Trafford.

He could be available against Manchester City on March 6, 2021.

In other developments, Donny van de Beek and Edinson Cavani have also been ruled out in the Europa League game against the Spanish club on Thursday.
