Man Utd boss Solskjaer: I've told Pogba no-one bigger than this club

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he's told Paul Pogba no-one is bigger than the club.

Pogba was given the stark reminder by Solskjaer as the war of words with his agent Mino Raiola rumbles on.

The Old Trafford boss, who yesterday completed two years in charge, vowed: “I would just not stand for anyone thinking that he is bigger than Manchester United.

“No one is. Absolutely no one — and Paul knows this. It is not only for Paul. It is for all of us."

Raiola infuriated Solskjaer the day before United crashed out of the Champions League to RB Leipzig earlier this month by claiming it was time Pogba left the club.

Solskjaer continued: “Paul was here as a kid in the Under-18s. We signed him early on and he comes with the Manchester United DNA in him.

“He knows what we are about. United is about being in a team and Paul has always been an ambitious boy who loves playing football.

“He trains well, he never refuses to train or play, he has a good attitude.

"Of course, Paul wants to do as well as he can when he is in the team, however many minutes he is getting on the pitch."
