He had suffered the right ankle problem earlier that month though, missing two games in the process.
Pogba has been working with United’s conditioners at their Carrington training complex as part of his rehabilitation.
The French midfielder had his cast removed earlier this week, in the latest part of his comeback.
And it is understood the plan is for him to return to face Manchester City at the Etihad on December 7.
The 26-year-old is expected to resume training next Tuesday and will take part in a practice game with the youth team shortly after.
A United insider said: “Ole wants to reintroduce him off the bench in the game if at all possible.
“He has kept himself pretty fit in terms of his core fitness. He’s always in top shape, to be honest.”
