But he is nearing a return and yesterday shared a video of himself working out at Carrington.

His post had the simple caption "Loading..." in a warning to United's rivals.

Pogba, 24, was in superb form before his injury and has been a big loss for the Red Devils.

Marouane Fellaini is also crocked, leaving the Special One short of midfield options against Liverpool.

After the stalemate, Mourinho said: "He [Klopp] was having control because I only had Herrera and Matic.

"When I brought Lingard and Rashford I was waiting for him to bring Sturridge or Solanke, but to keep attacking players.

"But he decided to change player by player and kept the strong midfield. And that midfield today was stronger than my midfield.

"I had Herrera and Matic, nobody else, nobody on the bench to make a difference.

"I couldn’t bring Herrera to No10 where he could be more aggressive in the high pressing, so the team was getting below.

"At times I felt my team were probably waiting for me to do something, so the second half was more difficult for us."

United take on Benfica on Wednesday hoping to take control of Group A with a third victory in three games.
