Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba back running on grass

Paul Pogba has taken another big step towards making a return to action with Manchester United after taking part in a number of running drills.

The France international has been ruled out indefinitely since injuring his hamstring in the 3-0 Champions League win over Basel on September 12.

Despite boss Jose Mourinho declaring that the midfielder would be absent for the "long term", and reports suggesting that he would unlikely be back on the field before December, Pogba has given supporters fresh hope that a comeback may be imminent.

Pogba took to Twitter on Sunday evening to upload a 40-second video showing him undergoing various exercises, alongside the caption "Baby I missed you", but the tweet was deleted soon after.

Mourinho has tipped the 24-year-old to "make football history" at Old Trafford upon his return to first-team action.
