# Manchester United: Paul Pogba update enrages supporters amid extended absence

**After Manchester United dropped more points in the league [at home to Everton](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/50621923) on Sunday, a Carabao Cup tie at home to Colchester United awaits them next, but it’s unlikely superstar Paul Pogba will make his return after manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer explained he’s had too much time off, [via the MEN.](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-utd-paul-pogba-news-17425099)**

Pogba, who has missed out over the last month with an ankle injury, will also not appear in their next bout due to illness after attending his brother’s wedding, at least[according to the Sun.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10568497/paul-pogba-illness-brothers-wedding-man-utd/)

The Frenchman has been at the centre of [huge speculation](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7426817/Solskjaers-hairdryer-Pogbas-unhappiness-cracks-appearing-Manchester-United.html) regarding a potential transfer away from Old Trafford amid reports he is [unhappy at United](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7426817/Solskjaers-hairdryer-Pogbas-unhappiness-cracks-appearing-Manchester-United.html), but Solskjaer hasn’t addressed the rumours.

As a result, supporters have drawn up their own theories when it comes to Pogba’s long absence – with some hinting at the possibility that he is simply just [trying to force a move](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1209595/Paul-Pogba-Manchester-United-Premier-League-News) away.

However, this latest update has particularly riled up a section of fans, here’s what they had to say.
