Paul Pogba will miss Sunday's Premier League clash with bitter rivals Liverpool.
LONDON (AFP) - Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted midfield star Paul Pogba will miss Sunday s Premier League clash with bitter rivals Liverpool while goalkeeper David De Gea is also a major injury doubt.
French World Cup winner Pogba, 26, has failed to recover from an ankle problem while De Gea was forced off in Spain s Euro 2020 qualifier against Sweden on Tuesday.
"Paul had an injury, he came back, he worked really hard. He played a couple of games, maybe played through the pain barrier," Solskjaer told Sky Sports.
"He had a scan after the Arsenal game and maybe needed a few weeks rest in a boot so hopefully he won t be too long, but he won t make this game, no."
On De Gea, the United manager added: "I think he ll be out."
United are currently struggling down in 12th place in the table ahead of Sunday s match at Old Trafford against leaders Liverpool.
They have just nine points, 15 behind Liverpool who boast a perfect record of 24 points from eight games.
