Pogba’s promise to ‘see you soon’

UNITED supporters were left crying out for the return of Paul Pogba after Jose Mourinho’s team lost their first Premier League game of the season at the weekend – and now the midfielder has taken to Instagram to tell them ‘see you soon’.

The 24-year-old posted a video launching his new PP collection for Adidas – but his caption fuelled hopes he could be back on the pitch in the near future.

Pogba, who has been out for the last five weeks with a hamstring injury, is currently training in Miami, Florida, as he steps up his rehabilita­tion and his manager told reporters on Friday he does not know when the Frenchman will be available again.

Mourinho has not given a timescale on Pogba’s return but since his injury United have lacked creativity and fans are desperate for him to make his comeback.

The day before Pogba launched his PP collection, he teased on Instagram: “Soon! Can’t wait to show you...”

His message prompted hundreds of fans to plead with him to comeback quickly - and urge him to return to the team even stronger.

Pogba has not played since limping off after just 19 minutes of United’s 3-0 win against Basel on September 12 after pulling up with a muscular injury.

He left Old Trafford on crutches and has since posted videos dancing around plus doing gym work.
