The 26-year-old played every game in August before suffering ankle problems which kept him out for three months, and suffered a fresh setback on his return in December which forced him into an operation at the turn of the year.

Some United players opted to train during the five-day break granted by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of the departure for Marbella, with Jesse Lingard, Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot pictured working together in Dubai.

Pogba still wants to leave United and feels he can play at a higher level, according to Sky Sports News reporter Kaveh Solhekol.

The club were originally planning to travel the Middle East for their break but Solskjaer revealed fears over safety forced them into changing their plans.
