Paul Pogba doubt for clash with Arsenal on Monday – Is this a boost for the Gunners?

Manchester United could potentially be without midfielder Paul Pogba for Monday’s clash with Arsenal at Old Trafford.

Pogba, who played in United’s win over Rochdale in the week, picked up an ankle injury during the game.

United required penalties to beat the League One side in the Carabao Cup, with 16-year-old Luke Matheson netting against the Red Devils.

According to Sky Sports, Pogba will likely be unavailable for the clash with Arsenal, alongside Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said:

He [Pogba] finished the game [on Wednesday] and got a knock to his ankle which is very swollen so it was best for him not to go there [to the team meeting]. He is a doubt for Arsenal. That’s just the way it is.

I wouldn’t put my life on Rashford and Martial being fit, that’s part of this game – you work with what you have.

This could be a huge boost for Arsenal, with three of United’s top stars potentially out injured for the clash on Monday night.

Pogba has been very inconsistent for United, but his absence will still be felt by United.

Martial and Rashford are arguably bigger misses for the Red Devils, with the pair having the ability to be huge goalscoring threats.
