I agree with this.
From the sounds of things he's going to miss tomorrow but it doesn't sound a bad injury. Should be back for Celta Vigo.

I think he'll start.
It's not mind-games. he was holding his hamstring. Even if he's not bad, they won't risk him.
I agree.
I don't think Jose will discount the City game but he'll be more interested in winning a trophy than finishing fourth. He'll be keener to see Pogba play Celta than play at Wastelands.
I don't expect him to feature until Celta Vigo at the earliest.
Tomorrow will be a nightmare without him but we can definitely take out Swansea at OT without Pogba and Zlatan.
I'd imagine Mourinho will either play Carrick tomorrow night or possibly Herrera and Fellaini deep with Lingard ahead of them, central.

Ah, I didn't notice that. Just remembered him walking off. Agree in that case, if there's even a slight niggle with the hamstring, we'll save him FOR the EL.
Pogba was very poor against City previously - and against Liverpool his meltdown then triggered a poor run of performances from him.
To be honest, I actually think a solid MF 3 of Carrick, Herrera, Fellaini might be the best bet for City anyway.
Gutted as he's by far our best player.
Better get fit for UEFA... As this season come crumbling down..
A real shame he wasn't subbed off before he got injured, he was one of the players who needed to rest the most. That was a bit of bad management IMHO
I actually thought at half time would we regret subbing him or would we regret not subbing him? Turns out it was the latter.
Hindsight is always easy of course but I think around the 65th-70th min, he could have done with being subbed. More than ever we need him considering that some of our big performers got recently injured (Zlatan, Rojo). There was reason to play him.
I'm a bit disappointed for him, as I think he needs a big performance in a big game to get rid of some of the pressure.
But as for the team as a whole, in a difficult away match to City I don't think it's a catastrophe to lose him, we jut need to have the right game plan.
I think José's well up for this.

People are actually happy he's missing the derby

FFSThis has ruined my whole view of this match. I'm still holding a lingering hope he can feature. He seems the type who will declare himself fit if he can run. He can rest against Swansea.
His stats are great. Best of any CM in the league. Compare his stats to someone like Kante and Pogba comes out way ahead on most metrics (except tackles and interceptions I think).
Our midfield has actually been pretty damn great this season. Could probably count on one hand the number of games we've lost the midfield battle. It's our attackers that's let us down.
Let's just hope the other players have another day like against Chelsea
He'll be a big loss as even though he hasnt set the league alight this year, his presence and calmness in midfield will be a miss. However, I would still have confidence in a midfield two or three consisting of a combo of Carrick, Fellaini and Herrera.
Missing his ability to pick out a pass from deeper today, and ability to hold on to the ball.
Anyone left to tell us that Pogba isnt good? We look lost without him.
I hope the doubters appreciate just what he brings to the side after this display.
Especially holding the ball, we lose the ball within 5 seconds.
Missing him shows how good he actually is... best United midfielder by far. His 'replacement' Fellaini just hurts your eyes and cant even do 1% of what Pogba is able to do.
Blessing in disguise ey....
Without him our midfield is basically Herrera. Hope he's back for the next game.
Showed why he is our best Midfielder today. Without him we create nothing
We woukd have scored in those first 25 mins if he played tonight.
We missed 2 simple through balls to set Rashford away

Anyone know if he's back on Sunday. We kind of like need him...
Think we could have won this with him. The gameplan was good.
Missed him.
Our midfield was functional but lacked a cutting edge.

They cut through our midfield like butter at times, he is essential.
Would of gave us a chance, Martial and rashford were left with long punts up field and when a channel did open up, his replacement fellaini wasn't good enough to see it
Surely nobody is still dumb enough to say he adds nothing?
Blessing in disguise ey....
Such a terrible opinion isn't it.
Herrera was the only one playing in our midfield today. Might have been able to string 2 passes with Pogba in there.
He's one of our best players. Who knew? 
Our most important player.
I think our attack really struggled tonight due to Pogba's injury. Fellaini may have done a relatively good job at keeping our defence compact; however, he didn't really have and influence on the game aerially (Something which we needed from him tonight in order to get some respite from City's possession) and his lack of technical ability really negated our ability to hit City on the break. Where one touch was needed, Fellaini would take two, killing down our potential breaks before they had even started.
Pogba has really been slated in the media throughout the season, a lot of which has been unjust. I think that people nearly expect him to score 20+ goals a season (10+ form outside the box), get 25+ assists a season, and then run up and down the pitch like a madman to justify his transfer fee. Anyway, Pogba would have been very capable of linking up our transitions from attack to defence if he had've been the most advanced CM in a midfield-three. Moreover, he would have had the passing ability and vision to play balls through for Rashford, something which Fellaini was unable to do tonight. Next season, our midfield depth has to improve because we can't rely on Pogba having to play every single came; a fresh Paul Pogba is obviously a much better player then a very fatigued Paul Pogba.

Its better without him they said...
Oh you can bet there will be, I mean the Fellaini thread tells you were some of the United fanbase see as a good performance.
