Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident that Paul Pogba will still be at Manchester United next season but admits he cannot guarantee the French World Cup winner will stay.

Pogba fuelled speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid last month, suggesting Real were "a dream club for any player", although he declared at the time he was happy at Old Trafford.

Both manager Solskjaer and United's board want their ?89 million ($115 million) club-record signing to stay, although they have acknowledged that circumstances could change.

"You can't guarantee anything in football but yes I think Paul is going to be here," Solskjaer told reporters on Friday.

"I can assure you that he is very determined to be successful at United."
'Could you have done better?'
"He's a leader in that dressing room and on the pitch for us. Back to if I can guarantee, I would say 'yes, I can guarantee' but in life you can never (know), but he will be here as far as I'm concerned."

"He's been absolutely outstanding and going through tough patches is part of a footballer's career. David will be fine."
