PAUL POGBA is set for a scan after limping off injured in the first half of Manchester United’s game against Everton.
The French midfielder appeared to feel something go in his right thigh, and immediately signalled to the bench.

Pogba had just played a pass forward when he pulled up, and his night under the Old Trafford lights was cut short.
After the game, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed: “It looks like a muscle injury, so we’ve just got to check him up tomorrow and have a scan and get him treatment. Hopefully he’ll recover quickly.”
Pogba, 27, was replaced by Fred, with United 1-0 up thanks to Edinson Cavani’s header.
Bruno Fernandes showed his class with a stunning goal just seconds before half time but Pogba’s absence was felt immediately after the break as a quick-fire double from Abdoulaye Doucoure and James Rodriguez then brought the Toffees.
A Scott McTominay header 20 minutes looked to have given Solskjaer’s side a much-needed victory.
But Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck in the final seconds of the match to earn Everton a 3-3 draw.
Pogba was restored to the starting line up for the visit of the Toffees after sitting out the 9-0 slaughtering of Southampton.
And he had made a solid start to the game before pulling up injured.
