Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he is unlikely to call upon Paul Pogba for the trip to Newcastle on Sunday.

Pogba has had a nagging ankle problem since United's 1-1 draw at Southampton at the end of August and missed France's Euro 2020 qualifiers against Albania and Andorra.

He was also unavailable for the Red Devils in fixtures against Leicester and West Ham before starting games against Rochdale and Arsenal.

Asked if he would have any key players back from injury for the weekend, Solskjaer said: I don't know. Let's see on Saturday morning. Probably not."

On Pogba being fit for Sunday, the Norwegian added: Probably not, there's an international break as well, so it might be time for us to give him 10 or 14 days extra to be ready for the Liverpool game."
