Pogba Doubtful for Arsenal Clash After a Knock

Paul Pogba faces a race against time to prove his fitness for Manchester United's clash with Arsenal after suffering a recurrence of an ankle injury.

France international Pogba made his return to first-team action on Wednesday as he played the full 90 minutes in United's penalty shootout win over Rochdale in the Carabao Cup.

But manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has now confirmed that the former Juventus man aggravated the problem which had kept him out since the end of August and is now a doubt to take on the Gunners on Monday.

Pogba's potential absence adds to the selection headaches facing Solskjaer as he looks to get United's season back on track after an inconsistent start to the campaign which has yielded just eight points from six Premier League matches.

The most pressing of those issues is up front, with the Norwegian confirming that it is unlikely either Anthony Martial or Marcus Rashford will be fit to make their returns.

The absence of the most senior forwards in Solskjaer's squad could hand Mason Greenwood the opportunity to make his second league start for the club.

And Solskjaer is not ruling out throwing the teenager into his line-up against Unai Emery's side at Old Trafford.
