Pogba didn't travel with Man United Squad to London ahead of Arsenal's clash

Paul Pogba has not travelled with the Manchester United squad to London for their New Year's Day fixture with Arsenal, according to Manchester Evening News.



Pogba sat out the trip to Burnley on Saturday because he 'did not feel right' to play 48 hours after completing the whole of the second-half against Newcastle on Boxing Day but was expected to be available to play at Arsenal. However, Pogba was not with the squad that boarded their London-bound train at Stockport Station.

The 26-year-old returned from a 12-week lay-off as a second-half substitute at Watford on December 22 but Pogba was not among the 20 squad members who arrived at Turf Moor.

Pogba attended an exhibition match between All Star France and Guinea at the Vallee du Cher Stadium in Tours, central France, on Sunday as part of the 48h for Guinea charity event. He reported at United's Carrington training complex on Monday morning but did not participate during the 15-minute session that was filmed by rights holders.

When asked if Pogba would be available to face Arsenal, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replied: "Yeah, I would think so." Pogba has not started since the reverse fixture with Arsenal on September 30.

Solskjaer is optimistic United will make a signing in the January transfer window but reiterated any recruits must be for the long-term. The United manager insists the club have the resources to reinforce their squad after ending the summer without two priority targets.
