Paul Pogba arrived at Old Trafford with a crutch and his foot in a cast despite recently claiming he was close to returning to action for Manchester United.
The French midfielder is out of the Red Devils’ derby against Liverpool but recently took to Instagram claiming he was “almost there” with his recovery.
But photos of Pogba arriving at the stadium to watch the game on Sunday suggest otherwise, as he can be seen holding a crutch and his injured foot, which has kept him out for the last two games, in a cast.
The midfielder also posted videos of him training over the international break as he looked like he may be close to full fitness, but the photos that emerged before the clash with their bitter rivals suggests he may still have someway to go with his recovery.
This will come as a blow for United fans, who will have been hoping for a swift return for the 26-year-old as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer struggles for midfield options.
United started with Scott McTominay, Fred and Andreas Pereira against Liverpool in a midfield that has lacked creativity of late.
The Red Devils continue their Europa League campaign against Partizan Belgrade on Thursday before a trip to Carrow Road to face Norwich next weekend, and it remains to be seen whether Pogba will play a part in either game.
