Paul Pogba laughs and dances as he trains alone in Dubai while Man Utd team-mates jet off to Spain
MANCHESTER UNITED star Paul Pogba uploaded a clip of him training alone as his team-mates jetted off to Spain.
The French midfielder, who is rumoured to be on his way out this summer, has been out of action since Boxing Day with an ankle injury.
But he is stepping up his rehab work out in Dubai, and shared a video on his Instagram going through some various exercises in the gym.
And the controversial Frenchman appeared to be enjoying the session as he smiled and danced his way throughout.
Meanwhile the rest of the squad, barring a few, met at the club’s training complex at Carrington before travelling to Manchester Airport.
They will be undertaking some warm weather training out in Marbella.
However new signing Odio Ighalo won’t be heading for sunnier climes.
SunSport reported earlier that the 30-year-old, signed on loan from Shanghai Shenhua until the end of the season, will not attend over fears he will be barred from returning to the UK over the coronavirus threat.
The club are concerned UK immigration could tighten border restrictions after the World Health Organisation upgraded the disease to a global emergency.
Border control is monitoring all persons who have arrived from China in the last 14 days.

Pogba spent a year playing alongside Dybala for the Old Lady before he returned to Manchester United in a deal worth £89million.
Reports in Tutto Sport suggest Pogba is “dreaming” of playing with Argentina star Dybala once again.
