Paul Pogba reportedly had to be roused from his bed after he missed a warm-down session earlier this month.
The Manchester United star did not show for the session on December 3 which followed his side’s 3-1 win over Arsenal the day before.
Repeated attempts to contact the Frenchman by phone were unsuccessful and a support team was dispatched to his house, reports the Daily Mail .
Pogba, 24, was sent off at the Emirates as United Antonio Valencia and Jesse Lingard sealed the victory.
He featured three days later in the Champions League but was then absent for a fortnight until he featured in United’s 2-1 Carabao Cup defeat by Bristol City on Wednesday.
Pogba re-joined United from Juventus for £89million last summer but was advised this week by Paul Scholes to stop overdoing it.
Scholes reckons goalscoring midfielders of his ilk aare a thing of the past and Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante is now the “perfect” Premier League midfielder leaving Pogba with work to do to match his countryman.
Scholes said: “Paul Pogba can be this box-to-box midfielder, although he can do a lot better, especially score more goals.
“He has a big range of attributes. He is fast, his passing game is exceptional. I am sure he will cross these levels.
“Mentally, he still has a lot of room to improve to become more consistent.
“He should especially try not to do so many complicated things.
