Paul Pogba Injury: Manchester United Midfielder Injures Hamstring vs. Rostov

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba suffered a hamstring injury during his team's UEFA Europa League clash with Rostov on Thursday.

News of the problem picked up by the world's most expensive player came via eir Sport, while Rob Dawson of the Manchester Evening News provided further details:

After the match, Mourinho told reporters Pogba will likely miss three weeks with the injury. 

The issue is a big blow for a player who's still seeking to find a defined role with his new side.

Pogba joined the Red Devils for a world-record fee in the summer from Juventus, arriving at Old Trafford with a reputation as one of the game's best midfielders.

So far, he's played in flashes. There have been isolated moments of brilliance from the Frenchman in the iconic red jersey, but we're yet to see him stamp his mark on matches consistently with the emphatic swagger he showcased in Serie A.

Injury problems will only serve to hinder his progress. Pogba can be devastating once he settles into a groove, something that United fans have been eagerly anticipating.

It's not a process that will be expedited by time on the sidelines, which is unfortunate for the player and United.

It will be a head-scratcher for United manager Jose Mourinho, too; Pogba's absence is another blow to the coach as he continues to strive for balance at the hub of his side.
