According to new revelations, Manchester United star player Paul Pogba played deaf ears to advice from the club’s medical team and trained with a private trainer despite concerns over his hamstring, which has now bring about his current injury setback.
Pogba is very likely to sit out for the next six weeks after tearing his hamstring against Basel on Tuesday night during their Champions League group opener. The France international limped off the pitch after 19 minutes of the game and was replaced by Marouane Fellaini.
The Sun are reporting that United boss Jose Mourinho is angry with the midfielder for going against the advice of the club’s medical staff and training privately when he was being clearly warned against that.
The record-signing had also suffered a similar injury last campaign that saw him out for three matches and was told to carefully manage his hamstring to prevent the problem from reoccurring.
The former Juventus star, however, snubbed those warnings and participated in a private training.
Man United medical department believe this is what made him more vulnerable to twisting his hamstring once more.
It was also added that due to the midfielder’s disobedience, there is little sympathy from the club for his setback as he is fully at fault for consistently ignoring advises from their medical department.
