I'll build my Man Utd team around Pogba - Solskjaer

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has praised Paul Pogba's attitude and says he will build his team around the French midfielder.

Pogba endured a fractious relationship with former manager Jose Mourinho, which was well publicised over the past 18 months.

However, the 25-year-old, who has been linked with a move to Juventus in recent weeks, has looked renewed in Solskjaer's first two games in charge, scoring twice in Wednesday's win over Huddersfield Town.

"I think Paul's a top, top player. He's one of the best top, top players in the world," said Solskjaer in his pre-match press conference for Sunday's clash with Bournemouth.

"Attacking wise he's done really well but he's a big lad, can win headers, tackles, he's been the same as the others. The attitude has been perfect and that's key, you should be tired towards the end of every single game he's been top class and we're looking to build a team around of course but there are so many quality players."
