Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has sparked a reaction on social media after sharing a video of his dance moves and technical ability during a gym session.
The Frenchman, who is poised to leave United when his contract expires next month, is currently sidelined with a calf injury. He was forced off in the opening 10 minutes of the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool last month and has since missed United's last three matches.
Interim boss Ralf Rangnick, following the defeat to Liverpool, admitted that it was unlikely Pogba would play for the club again. His injury is set to rule him out for the remainder of the season and he is expected to leave the club next month.

Rangnick said: "He won't be available for the game tomorrow [vs Arsenal] and most likely not for the other four upcoming games. As it seems right now, he will not renew his contract and, I don't know, maybe the club or Erik [ten Hag] will also not want to renew the contract. I don't know. But it's most likely that he won't be here anymore next season."
Despite his United career now being on the cusp of its conclusion, he is continuing to train and work hard on his recovery at the club's training ground. On Friday, he shared a video on Instagram of him working hard on strengthening his calf by dancing, as well as attempting to shoot a football into a basketball hoop.
Alongside the video he shared, Pogba said that it was a 'new way to work on the calf'. Throughout his dance routine and two efforts at looking to hit the target, the midfielder did not appear to be in any discomfort, suggesting that his recovery is going to plan.
After his dance session, Pogba, on two occasions, attempted to land the football in the basketball hoop from distance, proving successful at the second attempt. It was a fine effort from the Frenchman and it sparked a reaction on social media, not least from two of his teammates.
Both Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho were amongst those to reply, each responding with emojis. Fernandes sent three sets of on-looking eyes and Sancho sent a laughing and an ice-cool face emoji, suggesting that the latter of those two emojis referenced his incredible accuracy in aiming for the basketball hoop.
The two stars weren't the only individuals with United links to respond. Former defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah also replied to Pogba with a laughing emoji, as well as writing: "Foolaaa."
Pogba, despite being currently sidelined, showed excellent technique to find the basketball hoop from such a distance. It was a terrific effort and his current and former teammates clearly agreed.
