MANCHESTER — Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists Paul Pogba is happy at Manchester United despite a public flirtation with Real Madrid.
Pogba said a move to the Bernabeu is “a dream for anyone” while manager Zinedine Zidane has said he likes the French midfielder “a lot.”
Sources have told ESPN FC that United are determined to resist any big money bid that might arrive in the summer and Solskjaer is planning on having the 26-year-old in his team next season.
“I don’t like to talk about other teams’ players of course but this is another challenge with international breaks players are available all the time as well and it’s a different environment,” Solskjaer told a news conference on Monday.
“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.
“He’s just politely answered that question but Paul is happy here. He is going to be a big, big part. You like to build your team round him and that hasn’t changed at all.”
