Pogba misses United training session

The midfielder has been in fine form under new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, scoring four and assisting four as United have strung together six successive victories under the Norwegian. But the midfielder was one of several missing from Manchester United's training session. Nemanja Matic was also absent for the same reasons, with his his wife having given birth earlier this week. Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo remain on the sidelines, with both recovering from long-term injuries.

But there was a return for Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez, who missed Sunday's 1-0 win over Spurs with a minor injury. Free agent Giuseppe Rossi, who was at Old Trafford between 2004 and 2007, made a surprise appearance as he looks to build his fitness and earn a contract elsewhere.
