Paul Pogba may not play for Man Utd again this season but Cristiano Ronaldo is ready for Arsenal game | Football news
Ralf Rangnick has said that Paul Pogba is unlikely to feature again this season, raising the possibility that he will play his last game for Manchester United before his contract expires at the end of the season.
Pogba was forced off the pitch in the early stages of United’s 4-0 defeat at Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday, and Rangnick revealed the French midfielder faces at least four weeks out. .
United’s final game of the season is at Crystal Palace on May 22, meaning the France international faces the end of his iconic six years at Old Trafford with a whimper.
Ahead of United’s trip to Arsenal on Saturday, Rangnick revealed: “Paul, it looks like after we’ve scanned it is very unlikely that he will play until the end of the season.
“The doctor told me that it will take a minimum of four weeks for him to recover. Since the last game was at the end of May, I don’t think he will be able to play again.”
There is better news for United ahead of their game at Arsenal – where there can be huge dispersion in terms of both teams’ chances of finishing in the top four – with Cristiano Ronaldo poised to return to the side.
The 37-year-old has been given leave of absence following the death of his newborn son, but he returned to training earlier this week and Rangnick said he is vying to be at the Emirates.
