Solskjaer clears the air

Manchester United v Watford FC - Premier League

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has claimed that Paul Pogba’s comments on Zinedine Zidane have been misinterpreted. According to the Norwegian, Zidane is an idol for Pogba, which is why he claimed it was a dream to play under the Frenchman.

“Paul is a very nice and polite man who then answered a general question on Zidane, who is an icon in France, a fantastic manager and used to be a fantastic player and he’s just politely answered that question.”

Ole also revealed that he likes to build his system around the Frenchman.

“But Paul’s happy here, he’s going be a big part here and you like to build your team round him and that hasn’t changed at all.”

Solskjaer also spoke about the players being offered new contracts, stating:

"At least now players that are being offered contracts, they know who their manager is going to be," he said.

"I know that I'm staying so it's not just my advice anymore, it's my wishes that we are working with."
