Considering his form, age, and injury history, Paul Pogba has apparently made his last appearance andis unlikely to play again for Manchester United. The Red Devils’interim manager Ralf Rangnick has suggested that the Frenchman has finished his career at the club and will leave at the end of the season.

For at least the next four weeks, a calf injury forced the 29-year-old from last weekend’s difficult 4-0 derbylossto Liverpool very early in the 10th minute.Due to his contractexpiring at the end of June, it’s possible that Pogba has played his last game for the club. A new deal seems doubtful at this point.

“Paul, as it seems, with the scan we did, it is very likely he will not play until the end of the season again. The doctor told me it will take four weeks minimum for him to recover and obviously the last game is at the end of May. I don’t think it is very likely he will be able to play again [this season]”, said the German expert at a press conference.
