Paul Pogba forced off with hamstring injury during Manchester United's game against Rostov and will miss Middesbrough clash

Paul Pogba will miss Sunday's game against Middlesbrough after the Manchester United midfielder picked up a hamstring injury against Rostov.

The £89million summer signing pulled up after attempting to launch a counter attack from a Rostov free-kick. He flicked the ball away from an opposition player before sprinting after it, only to suddenly stop in his tracks.

Pogba was replaced by Marouane Fellaini in the 48th minute, with the France midfielder unable to carry on.

The 24-year-old appeared to have tweaked his hamstring during the incident on Thursday night.

And manager Jose Mourinho admitted he could be out for an extended period: 'I don't know for sure, but for sure, no Middlesbrough and no national team.'

Defender Daley Blind also had to leave the pitch with an injury within five minutes of Pogba's departure. 

Manager Jose Mourinho has previously referred to Fellaini as Pogba's 'natural replacement'.

He wrote in November 2016: 'Unfortunately tonight, we are without Paul Pogba and his natural replacement, Marouane Fellaini, who both picked up bookings on Sunday, but I have the players who can do the job despite those problems.'
