Paul Pogba responds after Ralf Rangnick claims he's unlikely to play again for Man United this season

Paul Pogba has claimed that his season is 'not over' yet despite picking up an injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for a number of weeks.

Pogba was substituted less than 10 minutes into Manchester United's humbling 4-0 defeat to fierce foes Liverpool on Tuesday. Further assessment by the club's medical staff revealed a calf injury that looks to have put an end to his season and his career at United.

Speaking ahead of Saturday's massive match with Arsenal, interim manager Ralf Rangnick explained that he doesn't expect Pogba to be available to him again this season. "The doctor told me that it will take four weeks, minimum, for him to recover.

"And, since the last game is at the end of May, I don't think it's very likely that he will be able to play again."

Pogba's contract at United expires in the summer and he is expected to leave Old Trafford for a second time six years on from returning in an £89million transfer from Juventus. As a result, the Frenchman may well have played his last game for the club.

However, in a post that went across his social media channels during the fixture with the Gunners, Pogba has declared that he will work hard to get back fit before the campaign concludes.

"Absolutely gutted to not be able to help the team in today's game," the post read. "I will work even harder to come back stronger and hopefully before the end of the season.

"It's not over. Thank you all for your support, United we stand!"

Even if Pogba does play again this season, he is still expected to depart alongside Edinson Cavani, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata and Lee Grant in the summer. Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are the favourites to sign him.
