Paul Pogba has expressed his frustration at his inability to influence Manchester United’s results as he revealed his comeback to action is still three-and-a-half weeks away.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted last month he does not expect the midfielder to be back before December and Pogba said he would continue to wear a cast for 10 more days before two weeks of rehabilitation.

Pogba, who has missed the club's last seven matches in all competitions, has not played since a 1-1 draw against Arsenal at Old Trafford in the Premier League in September.

"I will still be under plaster for 10 days," Pogba told RMC Sport on Saturday.

"After, I still have two weeks of rehabilitation."
