Solskjaer insists Pogba will stay at Man Utd and is 'determined to succeed' despite Real Madrid summer transfer interest

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER says he is as sure as he can be that Paul Pogba will stay at Manchester United this summer.

The French World Cup winner's Old Trafford future has again been in doubt with Real Madrid believed to be preparing a move.

But Solskjaer says that Pogba is one of the dressing room leaders at United and there are no plans to move him on.

While he cannot be absolutely certain, he is confident the Red Devils will hang onto their record signing.

The Norwegian said: "You can't guarantee anything in football but yes I think Paul's gonna be here, he's very determined to succeed at Man Utd.

"It's the standards he sets because when he's creating chances, scoring goals, doing loads of work, the media, supporters, everyone looks to Paul and says could you have done better.

Pogba will be here as far as I'm concerned."

"He's done fantastic for us, he's a human being as well and we're all the same, we want him to do well.

"He's a leader in that dressing room and on the pitch for us.

"Going back to if I can guarantee, I would say yes, I can guarantee – although in life you can never – but he will be here as far as I'm concerned."

While Pogba is viewed as a leader, Solskjaer admits he is not in the same mould as United's great recent skippers such as Bryan Robson, Roy Keane and Steve Bruce.

He said: "I think you know as well the world has changed so you don't have a Robbo, a Keane or a Steve Bruce in our dressing room, we're all different.

"We have a squad full of talented players and leadership is so many different things.

"I loved playing under Roy Keane anyway, everyone here spoke about Robbo but we're all different now, society is different.

"I don't lead the way Sir Alex did, Van Gaal, Mourinho, we're all different leaders."
