Paul Pogba has revealed he wants Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to become Manchester United’s permanent manager.
Since taking over from Jose Mourinho in a caretaker capacity, Solskjaer has engineered a miraculous turnaround at Old Trafford, guiding the club to the quarter-finals of the Champions League and reigniting their hopes of finishing inside the Premier League top four.
Those two things were barely possible while Mourinho was in charge, after United experienced their worst start to a season in 28 years, and it seems almost certain that Solskjaer will be rewarded with the full-time job.
Pogba has been central to the Red Devils’ resurgence, scoring nine goals in 17 matches under Solskjaer, and he says the Norwegian has restored the team’s confidence.
“Of course we want him to stay,” Pogba told Sky. “The results have been great. I have a great relationship with him, he has a great relationship with the players.

The midfielder endured a turbulent relationship with Mourinho, with training ground bust-ups and reported dressing room fall-outs dominating the end of the Portuguese manager’s reign.
However, Pogba refuses to criticise his former boss.
“Maybe we lost confidence, maybe things went wrong,” Pogba added. “A lot of talking outside that we weren’t used to.
