The Frenchman was handed the armband for United’s Champions League opener against Basel but was forced off after just 19 minutes.
His replacement, Marouane Fellaini, gave the hosts the lead later in the half.
Pogba also picked up a hamstring injury back in March and missed out on international duty with France as well as a pair of United games.
He also suffered with a hamstring-related problem in May, missing two more club fixtures, but did manage to get back in time for the Europa League final.
