Paul Pogba will stay, reveals Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Manchester United may be in the process of overhauling their entire squad but keeping a few players at the clubs does seem like an essential plan. Having tied down Marcus Rashford with a long and lucrative contract, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s next job will be to keep Paul Pogba.

The mercurial midfielder had what many have called his best season as a footballer. But, that performance also saw the 26-year-old talk about a future away from Old Trafford, which has seen the vultures circling. Both Juventus and Real Madrid have been linked with a move, although the Los Blancos are the top dogs despite spending well over £250 million this summer.

But that is not what Solskjaer believes, with the Norwegian revealing that he is confident that Pogba will stay. When asked if Pogba was set on staying, Solskjaer said: "I've no doubts at all. I wasn't expecting him (on the plane to Cardiff). I spoke to him after training and he didn't feel right. Paul will probably be back early next week training.  It's not an injury, he just felt some pain. We didn't want to risk anything this weekend and he should be OK for Chelsea next week."
