Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has played down Paul Pogba’s recent talks about Real Madrid and insists the midfielder is happy to remain at Old Trafford.
Pogba fuelled speculation about his long-term future after describing Madrid as a “dream” club, while on international duty with France.
The midfielder also expressed his admiration for Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, who in turn suggested that Pogba could one day join him at Real Madrid
However, Solskjaer has played down comments of a summer move for Pogba and insists the France star wants to remain at Old Trafford for the foreseeable future.
When asked if he was planning to build his team around Pogba, Solskjaer told Sky Sports News: “Definitely. I said that a few years ago as well.
“One of the issues is, the players are always there for the press. They are open, and he answered a general question about any player would like to play for Real Madrid.
“He didn’t talk about himself, he is happy here.”
