Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is reportedly on course to make his return from injury immediately after the international break.

The 24-year-old has not featured for the Red Devils since damaging his hamstring in mid-September, missing their last 12 matches in all competitions.

United boss Jose Mourinho confirmed earlier this week that Pogba, along with fellow star man Zlatan Ibrahimovic, remains on course for a comeback before the end of the year.

According to the Daily Star, Mourinho is secretly hoping that the former Juventus ace will be back later this month, however, with the November 18 fixture against Newcastle being targeted.

Pogba, whose absence from the side has coincided with United falling eight points behind Manchester City in the Premier League title race, is expected to return to full training at some point next week.
