Man United's Pogba injures hamstring against Basel

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba endured a captaincy debut to forget as he suffered an early hamstring injury.

The 24-year-old was handed the United armband for the first time for the Champions League Group A opener against Basel.

The France international has been in superb form for United this term, netting twice in the opening fives games.

Any prolonged absence, therefore, would represent a significant blow as a packed fixture list awaits now that European football has returned.

United, who are unbeaten after four Premier League fixtures, host Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday.
