Thursday due to injury, Manchester United manager
Jose Mourinho has confirmed.
The France international was taken off in the
closing stages of United's 2-0 win over Burnley on
Sunday, with Mourinho admitting he was unsure if
the problem was simply muscle fatigue or a more
serious concern.
Although he would not specify the nature of the
injury, Mourinho has now said that Pogba will be
unavailable for the trip to the Etihad Stadium this
week.
Asked if Pogba or Ander Herrera would be fit, he
told a news conference: "Paul, no. Herrera, yes."
He added that Antonio Valencia will return after
having been rested for the win at Burnley, but
centre-backs Chris Smalling and Phil Jones are
still out.
"We go with what we have, we fight with what we
have. I trust the boys. We are fighters and we go,"
he said.
United are already without Zlatan Ibrahimovic and
Marcos Rojo, who have knee ligament injuries,
while Juan Mata is yet to recover from groin
surgery.
