Manchester United playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan says it is hard to play without Paul Pogba.

It is unknown how long the Frenchman will be sidelined for after he sustained a hamstring injury during United's Champions League clash with Basel last weekend.

"It's hard, because he's a top player for us." Mkhitaryan told SFR Sport.

"It's going to be very difficult, but the coach knows how to make up for that and we're going to help him come back stronger."

Reports have suggested Pogba could be out for up to three months, but manager Jose Mourinho rubbished the claims as 'completely nonsense information'.
