Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insisted he wants to keep Paul Pogba amid doubts over his future.

Pogba is out of contract at the end of next season and there have been question marks over the French star since his agent Mino Raiola claimed his client’s time at United was “over” in December.

Linked with a Juventus return and move to Real Madrid, Pogba has been in inspired form for United, who are second in the Premier League and on the brink of the Europa League final following Thursday’s 6-2 semi-final first-leg rout of Roma.

“No, of course not,” said Solskjaer when asked if he would have the club cash in on Pogba at season’s end ahead of Sunday’s showdown against rivals Liverpool.

“I have always said with Paul that I enjoy managing him, I enjoy coaching him, I enjoy talking to him and I also enjoy challenging him because he is a winner.

“He wants to be better and that’s why he listens. You can see he’s enjoying himself here as well.

“He has a smile on his face. It’s important we treat each other with respect and I try to treat everyone with the same amount of respect.

“But there are some players you have known since they were young lads and that’s the case with Paul: the longer you have known them the easier it is to have a bond with them.”
