PAUL POGBA has been snapped on crutches with the Manchester United star set to miss four weeks of action with a hamstring injury.

The France international, 23, injured himself after just 19 minutes of the Red Devils' Champions League opener against Basel - which they won 3-0.

Marouane Fellaini, Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford scored in the comprehensive win... but Jose Mourinho slammed the side's "PlayStation" tactics.

While the win was the most important thing, Pogba will be frustrated to miss around a month with his latest knock.

The injury will see him miss around seven games, including United's massive derby game against Liverpool on October 14.

Yet he seemed in good spirits as he posted an image of himself on crutches surrounded by his family on his social media.

Pogba captioned the Instagram post: "When you know all will be fine #pogbance @florentinpogbaofficial @mathiaspogbaofficial #family"

United ace Pogba had arguably been the club's best player so far this season, even captaining the side against Basel up until his substitution.

As well as the Reds clash at Anfield, Pogba will miss games against Everton Southampton and Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

A Carabao Cup clash with Burton and the Champions League showdown with CSKA Moscow are just two others he's set to miss.

United currently sit top of the Premier League with ten points from their opening four games.
