No idea when Pogba will return says Jose Mourinho

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was asked during his weekly
press conference on Friday when Paul Pogba would return from injury.
"No idea" was his blunt reply.

The 24 year old suffered a hamstring injury against Basel in the
club's opening Champions League tie early this month. It was reported
he could be out for over a month.

However, the Portuguese wouldn't be drawn on when the club's record
signing would return, choosing instead to focus on the players that
are available and the fixtures ahead.

"No idea. But again, it's a great opportunity for other players to
play and I trust them all so I am not going to cry and count the days
for Paul to be back." he told the press

On the club's upcoming away fixtures in the Champions League, Mourinho
had this to say.

"It is very difficult but it means it will be easier later. If we play
now CSKA in Moscow and Benfica in Lisbon then later we will play at
Old Trafford. If we have consecutive matches away, it means later we
will play them at Old Trafford so I am never too worried.

"The number of matches in the league is going to be the same. If we
cannot win we try to get points and then try to compensate with good
form at home."

Manchester United are at Southampton where they will attempt to
continue their strong start to the season.
