​Pogba insists Man Utd happier under Solskjaer

Manchester United star Paul Pogba has admitted he is happier under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Pogba struggled for form and consistency under Jose Mourinho, with rumors suggesting he was looking to leave the club under the Portuguese boss.

But he has emerged as the key man since Solskjaer took over in late December. He spoke to Eurosport about the changes at United.

"We talk a lot about me but it's mostly down to the team," he said.

"It's going much better. We have a lot more of the ball, we attack a little more too. I play higher and try to be a little more decisive.

"I was not so decisive before but the stats proved it wasn't that bad. I am a challenger, I always want to do more.

"Since the new coach has arrived, we take more pleasure, we are happier and play more as a team. When he came to talk to us he asked us to enjoy playing football again.

"That's what we like - to play football."
