Solskjaer is yet to decide on his United Skipper for next season

#1 Bryan Robson gives advice to Paul Pogba

Manchester United Legend Bryan Robson has offered advice to Pogba

Former United skipper Bryan Robson has provided some advice for Paul Pogba amid all the turmoil he has been under this summer. He revealed that Pogba should just continue to give his all for Manchester United.

There's a lot of speculation in the media about Paul. He is a top player.

Get your head down, do your pre-season as well as you can - which, from what I've seen in the training sessions, he has done - and if something happens and the club want it to happen, or nothing happens then you've got to get on with it.

The United legend also revealed that players should not allow agents to dictate their futures.

I think players are influenced far too much by their agents - instead of making their own decisions.

Agents want players to move on because they make money. If a player is loyal to a club and stays there, the agent doesn't make as much money. I think that's a big influence not just at Manchester United, but all over the game.
