Injured Pogba out of Arsenal clash and season: Man Utd’s Rangnick

Paul Pogba

Man United interim manager Ralf Rangnick believes Paul Pogba has played his final match for the club after suffering an injury just weeks before his contract runs out at Old Trafford. The World Cup-winner, a free agent from July 1, came off with a calf problem early in Tuesday's chastening 4-0 loss at Liverpool, which makes a top-four Premier League finish unlikely. United head to Arsenal on Saturday.

"With Paul, as it seems after the scan we did the day before yesterday, it is very unlikely he will play until the end of the season," Rangnick said on Friday. The France midfielder came through the youth set-up at United and returned from a successful stint with Juventus in 2016 for a then world-record fee. Although Pogba, 29, has won the Europa League and League Cup in his second spell at United, he has largely been a disappointment. He was booed off the pitch when he was substituted against Norwich.

Asked if Pogba has played his final match for United, Rangnick said: "The doctor said it'll take four weeks minimum to recover and the last game is the end of May, I don't think he will be able to play again." he added.
