Pogba out for a month; Mourinho raging
Pogba will now be out for a month, and according to reports in England, his coach Jose Mourinho is absolutely furious with the player. That's because this is a long-standing issue, with Pogba having suffered the same injury back in March, when he was forced out for three weeks. Back then Manchester United's medical staff explained to Pogba how to strengthen the affected area and gave him stretches and exercises to do so. But the player apparently ignored the advice.

Not only did Pogba ignore Manchester United's staff's advice, he then insisted on seeing his own private personal trainer, as Duncan Castles tweeted, and Man Utd's physios think this has made the situation even worse.
