Manchester United opened their 2017-18 Champions League campaign with a 3-0 win over Basel on Tuesday night, but the victory came at a price after Paul Pogba picked up a hamstring injury in the first half of the European clash.
Pogba, who had been handed the captain’s armband for the clash at Old Trafford, pulled up just 19 minutes into the Group A match at Old Trafford.
It is understood that the Frenchman could miss the next six weeks of the season, which has given Jose Mourinho a decision to make in the middle of the park.
Nemanja Matic is without question first choice after an excellent start to life at Man United, but Marouane Fellaini, Ander Herrera and Michael Carrick are all pushing for a spot alongside the Serbian in central midfield.
On Thursday, Man United’s official Twitter account posted an article from the club’s website, which looked at Carrick, Herrera and Fellaini in more depth.
As expected, the post had a lot of attention, and the Man United supporters were split over which player they wanted to join Matic in the middle of the park.
