The futuristic mask promises to "provide a multitude of skin rejuvenation treatments to the face and neck" - using wavelengths.

Pogba earns a reported £290,000-a-week, but even he must have baulked at the £1,987 price-tag.

Pogba posted a little robot emoji of him wearing the mask to his Instagram Stories.

The LED mask has proved a hit with celebrities since launching.

A-list stars Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson and Kourtney Kardashian have all been seen wearing the masks in recent times.

The mask uses infra-red lights to help treat a number of ailments, using four different colour modes for different reasons.

It claims to help with wrinkle reduction, skin healing and sun damage, acne treatment and to reduce inflammation.

It is unclear if Jose Mourinho will rest his players, although he may want to play a strong team given his team are already out of the Carabao Cup and virtually out of the title race.

Pogba had been criticised for his performances during United's four-game winless run, but responded with a man of the match performance (and two assists) in the 2-0 win against Everton on Monday.

Mourinho hit out at United legend Paul Scholes in the aftermath of that win, stating he was "jealous" of Pogba's pay packet.

"It’s not Paul’s fault he made much more money than Paul Scholes," said Mourinho, "It’s just the way football is."

Jose Mourinho says all Paul Scholes does 'is criticise' his Manchester United side

The Portuguese added: "The only thing Paul Scholes does is criticise.

"I don’t think he comments, he criticises, which is a different thing.

"Scholes will go down in history as a phenomenal player, not as a pundit.

"If one day Paul decides to become a manager I wish he can be 25 per cent as successful as myself.

"Twenty-five per cent of 25 trophies is six, which is phenomenal."
