But what is happening to Paul Pogba?
On the substitute bench during Manchester United's success at the Parc des Princes (2-1 victory), on October 20 in the Champions League, the Frenchman is not guaranteed to be able to participate in the return match against PSG at Old Trafford this Wednesday.
The odds of seeing the midfielder at kick-off are almost nil, and on the scoresheet increasingly slim as the days go by.
Paul Pogba was to resume training with the rest of the squad on Monday at Carrington as MU manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Sunday.

But “La Pioche” comes out of a 12-day period of inactivity that hardly encourages optimism.
Injured to the ankle, the 2018 world champion with the Blues had to forfeit the last three meetings of the Red Devils in the Premier League and the Champions League for as many victories for his team.
A really complicated season
Manchester United coach Solskjaer was hoping to be able to count on Paul Pogba ahead of the important trip to Southampton on Sunday (MU's 3-2 win with an assist and a brace for Cavani).
But on Friday, the Mancunian coach said at a press conference that Pogba had not recovered from his ankle injury contracted during the friendly match with France against Sweden (4-2).
In doing so, the Mancunian coach has caused trouble.
Against Sweden, on November 17, the midfielder of the Blues played the entire meeting without showing the slightest embarrassment.
Moreover, he did not complain of any ankle pain to the staff of the Blues neither during nor after the meeting.
Pogba then returned to Manchester where his injury would have manifested itself after a blow received during the meeting against the Swedes.
That pain, however, would have nothing to do with last season's ankle injury, which forced the Red Devils No.6 to undergo surgery on January 7, 2020.

It's a lesser evil for Pogba who, for a few weeks, could not even count on a full-fledged starting place with the Red Devils.
A really complicated season for the star of the Blues.
