Van Persie calls for Pogba, Solskjaer to hold joint Man Utd presser

Former Manchester United striker Robin van Persie believes Paul Pogba could yet stay next season.

Indeed, Vn Persie has called on Paul Pogba and his manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to conduct a joint-interview to clarify the Frenchman's situation.

He told Stats Perform: "I think for Pogba, and Manchester, it would be best to… I don't know, do an interview together or something, together with the coach, and just say, 'Listen: this is what I want, this is where I would like to play – judge me on that. I'm happy, or I'm not happy, or whatever'. Now, it's a lot of questions going around.

"Pogba, in my opinion, is a world-class player, he has proven it over the years. He has it all.

"But first, I think with him, and that's after a couple of years now, I think he should come out and he should say what his favourite position is. If that's done, then people can judge him based on this position. Now, I don't think people really know if he's a six, if he's a number 10... that's a big difference."
