Manchester United fans got a rare glimpse of Paul Pogba on Thursday as the injured midfielder made an appearance at Kurt Zouma's birthday party.

The France international has been out of action since picking up a thigh injury against Basle in the Champions League in September, and boss Jose Mourinho has admitted he has no idea when to expect the 24-year-old back in his squad.

But despite the lengthy lay off, Pogba appeared in good spirits as he hung out with Zouma and other Stoke City players to mark the defender's 23rd birthday.

Mame Biram Diouf and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting were also present as the stars gathered with their partners and children for the evening.

Pogba was decked out from head to toe in Supreme gear - the hoodie alone will set you back £667.

Pogba and Zouma have been international team-mates since 2010 when the pair both played for France's Under 17s.

The midfielder has not played a Premier League game since United's visit to the Brittania Stadium in September when Mourinho's men salvaged a 2-2 draw.

Zouma and Stoke City are back in action this weekend when they host Leicester City in the Saturday lunchtime kick off.
