The French national team is one of the hottest names for January's transfer window in European football. But Pogba only managed to play five Premier League games in the early fall before injuring his ankle and in the league comeback in December only two games were long.

The midfielder was not present when the team lost to Arsenal on New Year's Day and after the match, Ole Gunnar Solskjær explained why - the 26-year-old must operate his foot.

- He has got the council to do it as soon as possible and he probably will. He will be away from all games for three to four weeks, Solskær said at the press conference after the 0-2 loss, according to The Guardian.
