Paul Pogba jets into Dubai for injury recovery as Manchester United star seeks comeback

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has arrived in Dubai as he works on his recovery from injury.

Pogba is utilising Dubai's warm weather conditions to aid his rehabilitation having injured a thigh while on international duty with France last week.

He posted images on social media showing him working out at the Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex, which has hosted a number of top Premier League clubs in recent years. "Recovery mode on," he wrote.

After suffering the injury he said: "We don't lose faith, we don't lose the positive vibe.

"Keep smiling, everything happens for a reason, we're blessed still and we're going to come back, and we keep it up. That's how it is. Thank you again for the support, all love, god bless you all and we're going to be back soon."

Arsenal's Granit Xhaka and Chelsea's Ross Barkley have also been pictured at Nad Al Sheba during the past week while the Premier League paused for the international fixtures.

Pogba, like United, has had an inconsistent start to the season. He started well with a flurry of assists and eye-catching performances, but was then sent off in the 5-0 drubbing against Liverpool. United are back in action on Saturday when they travel to Watford in the Premier League.

Pogba has been to the UAE a number of times in recent years, both solo and with United on training camps.

Going grey? A stylist's advice

If you’re going to go grey, a great style, well-cared for hair (in a sleek, classy style, like a bob), and a young spirit and attitude go a long way, says Maria Dowling, founder of the Maria Dowling Salon in Dubai.
It’s easier to go grey from a lighter colour, so you may want to do that first. And this is the time to try a shorter style, she advises. Then a stylist can introduce highlights, start lightening up the roots, and let it fade out. Once it’s entirely grey, a purple shampoo will prevent yellowing.
“Get professional help – there’s no other way to go around it,” she says. “And don’t just let it grow out because that looks really bad. Put effort into it: properly condition, straighten, get regular trims, make sure it’s glossy.”
