Paul Pogba returned to action on Tuesday evening for Manchester United and did what he does best - hit the woodwork.
The Frenchman came off the bench in the 1-1 draw at home to Everton, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring a late penalty to salvage a point after Ashley Williams felt he had no other choice but to handle Luke Shaw's goal-bound effort.
And Pogba, who recently suffered a hamstring injury, was left frustrated in front of goal yet again when he headed against the bar in the latest chapter in his battle for the woodwork in the Premier League.

After rattling the bar against Everton, the Frenchman has hit the bar or post on nine occasions in the Premier League this season.

He has been denied by the woodwork more than any other Premier League club, which is quite ridiculous when you think about it.
A compilation nearly 3 minutes long of Pogba's near-misses has been put together by a United fan, with every instance that Pogba hit the woodwork featured in the clip.
The first time he hit the woodwork came in a 3-1 defeat to Watford earlier in the season, with the headed effort against the bar against Everton being the latest.

Pogba has hit the woodwork in all types of situations this term, whether it be a long-range thumper or a header from a set-piece.
Watch all of his strikes against the goal-frame here:
Pogba has scored eight goals in all competitions and would have had 17 in his first season back at United had it not been for the woodwork.

Do you put down Pogba's woodwork troubles to inept finishing or just bad fortune?
