Solskjaer says only 'minority' of United fans want Pogba out

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer risked angering Manchester United fans on Wednesday, saying it was only a "loud minority" who have turned against Paul Pogba.

The French midfielder has made clear his determination to leave the Premier League giants, with Real Madrid and his former club Juventus both said to be interested.

But Solskjaer has made clear that he wants to keep the World Cup winner, as he attempts to steer the Old Trafford club back into the Champions League.

The 26-year-old Pogba's publicly stated wish to leave and his tepid displays at the end of last season have infuriated many United supporters.

At United's final game last term, a 2-0 defeat to already relegated Cardiff City at home, a section of fans barracked Pogba.

Asked if he expected even more of a backlash against the Frenchman when the season begins, Solskjaer said: "I think our fans know what Paul has given the club and can give us."
