Paul Pogba is racing to be fit for next month’s Manchester derby after he was ruled out for weeks with a thigh injury.

The midfielder limped out of Manchester United’s 3-3 draw with Everton on Saturday and scans confirmed he is likely to be sidelined for the rest of February, at least. United travel to City on the first weekend in March.

Pogba is set to miss tonight’s FA Cup fifth-round tie at home to West Ham, both legs of United’s Europa League encounter with Real Sociedad and league games against West Brom, Newcastle and Chelsea.

It is a major blow for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, after the Frenchman’s impressive recent form.

‘It’s an injury that will take a few weeks to heal,’ said Solskjaer. ‘We’ll get him back as soon and as safely as we can. Paul has been very important for us and we’re not going to take any risks.’

Solskjaer said Dean Henderson is keen to replace David de Gea as United’s No 1, as he prepares to take over in goal tonight.

Henderson has played against Liverpool and Watford in the Cup this season and was due to step in again even before De Gea’s blunders in the Everton match.

GAMES PAUL POGBA IS SET TO MISS

West Ham (H) - FA Cup: February 9

West Brom (A) - PL: February 14

Real Sociedad (A) - EL: February 18

Newcastle United (H) - PL: February 21

Real Sociedad (H) - EL: February 25

But the 23-year-old will sense his best opportunity yet to usurp De Gea since returning from two successful seasons on loan at Sheffield United.

‘He’s not the most patient guy,’ said Solskjaer. ‘He wants to play every game because he knows he will perform well. He’s played well when he’s got the chance. ‘You see his improvement in every game when he plays.’

Meanwhile, 17-year-old winger Shola Shoretire has been promoted to first-team training at United after agreeing his first professional contract.
