Man Utd boss Solskjaer to bench Pogba for Man City clash

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to bench Paul Pogba for Saturday's derby against Manchester City.

The Sun says the Frenchman has become “public enemy No.1" at Old Trafford after agent Mino Raiola declared his United career “over".

It came hours before the club's crunch Champions League clash against Leipzig, which they lost 3-2 to get knocked out of the tournament.

While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his players were criticised for the performance, the £89m did earn praise for his impact off the bench.

But this will not be enough to convince Solskjaer to give the midfielder a start against City.

While Pogba made an impact in Germany, the report says that is is “unlikely" to get his place in the starting XI back after “poor" form this season.
