Solskjaer was delighted to see a full Old Trafford behind Man Utd on Saturday and believes fan support could be key to keeping Pogba alive this summer.
What did Ole say about Paul Pogba?
The French midfielder has once again been linked to a move away from the giants of the Premier League. However, he received a thunderous reception on the first day of the season as he inspired Utd to win a memorable 5-1 win over rivals Leeds United. Following the game, in which Paul Pogba excelled with a brilliant four-pass, Ole Gunnar was asked if Utd’s support would help the star in his decision.
Ole said the last 18 months have been weird, the only interaction was through the media, you watched games on TV to reunite with fans like Fernandes and Paul Pogba, importantly, this is the real Manchester United, this is how Ole sold Manchester United Cavani, you can’t leave after one season with no fans. Will this help convince him? In short: yes.
Paul Pogba Brings His Boys A Smile
The Utd enjoyed a perfect start to the 2021-22 campaign as the Bielsa people played outside the park. Bruno scored a hat-trick in the first hour of play, and there were also goals for Greenwood and Fred, while Ayling scored Leeds’ singles right after half time to briefly level 1-1 ahead of the Red onslaught. Ole Gunnar couldn’t hide his excitement that Paul Pogba re-opened the Leeds’ defense over and over and claimed he was in perfect shape so early in the season.
Solskjaer added that it is impressive, Paul Pogba always has such a vision, he has such a quality. Ole knows the headlines are likely to be about Fernandes, but this is a team effort, the space Greenwood is creating for Fernandes to open up channels, what everyone is doing ahead of their goals has been worked out this week. Pogba, Ole is very impressed with his fitness level, he hasn’t been with them for too long and he looks fit, Ring to go, enjoy his football. Ole loves it when Pogba brings all his boys a smile when they play football.
