Ahead of Manchester United’s upcoming match, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wanted to give his latest verdict on the whole Paul Pogba situation.

Paul Pogba hasn’t been going through the best time at Manchester United under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The French midfielder has been flirting with the idea of leaving the Red Devils due to his agent’s attempts to get him out of the club. But as a professional, Paul always expects to focus on the current season at hand despite all the noise.

Fortunately for him, the recent performances delivered have been quite impressive. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is thrilled to have the best Paul Pogba back in action as Manchester United attempts to fight for all the trophies they can this season. In the meantime, the gaffer is also trying to do his best in order to convince the midfielder that Old Trafford is the best place for him to remain. 

Solskjaer still wants Paul Pogba at the club.

Despite all the rumors about his future, the player has always kept the same narrative going forward. All he cares about is helping Man United and the future is still unclear. But for Solskjaer, keeping Pogba seems like a priority as he told Sky Sports: “Paul, he wants to play, he wants to train, he enjoys football, he wants success, he’s ambitious, so when he’s on the pitch and on the training field I see a boy who enjoys his football.

“That’s what I care about. What we talk about, him and me, we know what we’ve discussed. I think fitness and confidence goes a little bit hand in hand, because when you’ve got the quality that he has, of course fitness is a foundation of your confidence, because you know your ability will get a performance. He’s had a difficult year last year with loads of injuries, about nine or 10 months he was out.

“Then he got Covid, at the start of the season he didn’t feel fit, so then what comes first… Do you play him to get him fit? Or rest him so then he won’t get playing time? Now he’s responded to the work we’ve done and you see the good performance. He’s a player who can do most of the things, he’s got all the attributes. I’m delighted with his performances.”
