Sorry I have watched all our matches this season, result-wise we are doing good for few matches after he was injured, but performance-wise i think we were pretty bad overall.
Great he goes to recover his hamstring and comes back with a pulled groin.The guy has legs like telescopes and is built like a brick outhouse. His break up play in the opponent's half is a really important part of his game, I'd say. Ditto Fellaini, though he's not as good at it. Very much not what what Herrara does though.
Which is not to say that's the end of his talent. Anything but. It's the part of his game that unbalances the side most when he's not there though.
Agreed, only difference is that I think we werent much better perfomance-wise with him either.
I'd say he's much more important to us offensively than defensively...
So how many weeks has he been out now? Are we in that 4-6 weeks window?
I find it strange he's still in USA all this time. If he's close to return he should return to Carrington soon and join the training. If this didn't happen before Swansea game I'll start to get a bit worried
Nothing has come through the middle without him. When I picture our goals pre injury it seems everything cut through the middle.
Now its all wingplay. Lukaku etc waiting for crosses.
It isnt a coincidence that Martials and Rashfords goals have dried up without him, they don't have the little throughballs to run onto.
Hell Mkhi has fallen off a cliff since he has to come deeper for the ball.
Unless it is a big old coincidence

He's been out for just over 5 weeks. Hard to make a case for him returning for Spurs game when he's not even back in the country yet.
yet, in his videos on Instagram he's doing sprints, running... Looks like he should be ok to train at Carrington, or at least do some physical training here. It's weird.
It's a bit bizarre at this point.
Very cryptic update from Mou today. I'm starting to worry that all the scare stories in the tabloids right after the injury may have had an element of truth...
Maybe his running style etc is being assessed before we play him again?
I would love to know who he's training under out there, it has to be some sort of specialists.

He'll be out for another month at least I think. Or mind games by Jose?
That was clearly what Mourinho was complaining about, what the hell is he doing there!
Yeah, that was what I was alluding to. Dismissed it as tabloid bollox but if they’re trying to makeover his running style that would explain why he’s still in the states doing loads of sprints yet not able to do any ballwork back at Carrington.
Did Mourinho say he doesn't know when he's coming back from injury or he doesn't know when he's back from America?
I don't think we're seeing him until November.
Looks like from USA.
Jose said: "He is not here. Dont know when he ll be back"
I'm still hoping he'll be in the squad for the Spurs game.
He'll be back Monday and play the Spurs game I think.
Hopefully in November
He can't start or even play vs Spurs if he doesn't play vs Swansea. Would be risky given the expected intesity of the game.
Is there any logical reason for him to not be in Manchester other than because he wants to fart around somewhere with nicer weather?
Looks like pogba is a law unto himself. I find it bizarre that Jose is so in the dark regarding his star signings fitness status and when he is due back from usa . Hopefully them rumours of a rift are unfounded.
As per the speculation above, he might be seeing some sort of biomechanic specialist to see if they can find a way to avoid recurrence.
Sorry, having not seen the tabloids im not sure what this speculation is. Piecing together what youve said it seems like there was a suggestion his style of running may contribute to recurring hamstrung issues? So the idea is maybe he is in the US learning how to run in a way that puts less pressure on his muscles?
That’s not going to happen as soon as he’s tired he’s going to revert back to type. I think he will be seeing a biomechanics specialist over there like Sean Allan or Kevin Kirby. But running form changes in a footballer very unlikely to happen.
Interesting. So he was injury prone at Juve, presumably?
I'm no expert, but I'd be amazed if a natural running style is something that could be changed in a matter of weeks.
I’ve no idea!
I agree , running is too natural and instinctive a thing, golf swings and the likes are different, you can gather your thoughts before you perform them & even then they are very difficult to change, it can take long periods of time before feeling anything like natural.
We pay his salary, he will bloody well run how we tell him to run.
Makes me laugh that people who claim to know about football can't see that Pogba is clearly on another level to anyone else in the side.
Has he been on another level to Matic this season? He's got more potential but maybe he is not quite there yet.
I am not even go to engage in an argument about it, Pogba does things that leave me breathless.
