Oh feck off!
Oh fecking shit.
Herrera needs to bring his 'A' game for the next couple months. Perreira would have been useful now too.
The only paragraph worth reading.
Was thinking the same. Pereira should've been kept from going away on Loan. I see us struggling now. Especially against CSKA Moscow and Liverpool.
"A month out would rule Pogba out of the Premier League games against Everton, Southampton, Crystal Palace and Liverpool as well as the Champions League game away to CSKA Moscow and the League Cup third round tie at home to Burton Albion."
Only really need him for the Pool game and the CSKA one.

That def sucks but all our mids except for Herrera perhaps have been playing well so far this season, so I'm not quite as worried as I would ve been otherwise. Absence of someone that important creates opportunity for others to step up. Perhaps a good reason to be a little creative with Martial.
Love that the Rashford quote seems like it's in response to this speculative news rather just you know... the post match quote
It's difficult to expect Pogba's level from Herrera and Fellaini going forward. Herrera and Fellaini would hardly be considered a goal threat. Regardless of whether Fellaini scored against Basel or not.
He'll be back for the Liverpool game I think. Until the club update, I wouldn't take too much from the click bait media. Nothing confirmed
Once again proving that all newspapers are click bait title crap.
This is exactly why the decision to loan Andreas didn't make any sense. Our injury history last season was ridiculously poor and I don't understand why we took chances this year. He is the closest player we have to Pogba right now because the rest are just B2B midfielders/DM's. Well, going to need Miki and Herrera to really step it up/ carry on.
Herrera needs to perform this is his chance.
This is why Pereira shouldn't of been loaned. We don't have a reliable creative player from deep without Pogba.

Headline should be: We haven't a clue what the injury is like so we'll write an article anyway.

I know this is entirely theoretical but if there's any chance that this was in any way caused by sending him off to play international football against a virtually irrelevant Dutch side and Luxembourg then I think clubs, who are now paying massive wages to these players, have to come down a little bit harder on releasing players for international duty. Make qualifiers for major tournaments have the same rules as the Olympics regarding player choices, they're so boring anyway it would at least be a bit interesting to see up and coming players on a major stage.
This is potentially really shite news as he's the one CM we don't have any natural cover for without changing the way we play.

Aye. It's never ideal to lose your best player, but that run of games should still be winnable without him. On paper, at least.
Please let this be the case
Hamstring is usually 3-4 weeks minimum. Probable this is a realistic timeline to fully recover.
I reckon we could see an introduction of 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 because of this injury..

So October 12th is the important date.
I suspect he will be ready by then. But even if not, we should have the advantage over them.
Matic, Fellaini, Herrera, and Carrick should get us through until Paul is recovered.
Herrera needs to step up.
This is a big opportunity for Fellaini to step up and make that place his own.
We got Fellaini, we'll be ok. 3-5-2 is back!
Will be surprised if we pick up full points(before internationals) in his absence.
Herrera & Matic should be fine for the Everton and Palace games, but a midfield three with Fellaini coming in for Southampton away and Moscow away.
Is it a safe assumption that Pereira would take Pogba's spot? Or no?
For f*cks sake.
I get a feeling, we will see Mc Tominay between those games.
Quite like him, remind me the young Fletcher.

from valencia, probably not
This is why we shouldn't have sent Pereira on loan...
Doubt it. He would be behind Herrera and Fellaini at least, possibly Carrick too
Not that bothered. Yea, he's been good but if we have any pretensions of being a top side, then we need to cope. Now we shall see.
As long as it's Herrera replacing him not mophead

If we're complaining that an injury to one player means our current player of the year has to come back into the team we're spoiled.
Pogba will be a huge miss. But I think Herrera will look great alongside Matic, though perhaps not immediately.
Fellaini just had arguably his best performance for us after replacing Pogba too. Admittedly in a soft game, but still encouraging.

From what we've read so far, Pereira wanted to go out on loan and Jose/club were reluctant to send him on loan and thus the "January recall" clause. If a player wanted to go out on loan for first team football, there's not much the manager or the club can do.
I can see Mkhitaryan or Mata being used as #8s until Pogba comes back. Otherwise, we have very little creativity in the middle third.
I doubt even if he plays his socks off he'll nick a starting spot off Pogba!You forgot messi lingard
We still have McTominay too
