FA Cup: Dalot’s strike, Fernandes’ penalty send Man Utd into fourth round
Manchester United secured a place in FA Cup fourth round, recording a relatively comfortable 2-0 victory over 2013 winners Wigan…
Manchester United star Paul Pogba has reportedly failed to recover injury and thus would not be available for the match against Leicester City. The same was confirmed by Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Notably, Pogba was forced to take his name back from international duty with France as he injured his ankle in Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Southampton on 31 August.
Pogba has started in all the matches for Manchester United so far but will be out of the match against Leicester until and unless there is a “miraculous recovery”.

“Pogba won’t be fit, unless he’s had a miraculous recovery overnight from yesterday to today or maybe from tonight to tomorrow. He’s not been ready to do 100 per cent training,” Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told reporters.
“The treatment room has been busy and still is,” he said. “We don’t really know who is going to be available. Maybe Aaron, maybe Jesse and I think maybe that’s it from the ones that had to pull out [of the internationals], but I can’t promise those two will be available either,” he added.
“We hope that more can be ready for West Ham next week and Paul and Anthony are in that category. I think they’ll be ready for then and I can’t say more than that really.”
“Leicester is always a tough game, as a team, a club wanting to push into the top four,” Solskjaer said about his team’s forthcoming against Leicester City.
“They’ve got good players, a good manager, a proven top manager – Brendan’s teams always play with football and we’ve got to play well to get the three points,” he concluded.
