Paul Pogba admits that Manchester United cannot go three years in a row without silverware after a 'very disappointing' season at Old Trafford that has left their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League hanging by a thread.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson's exit after United's title-winning 2012-13 campaign, Man Utd have failed to win the Premier League - and after Easter Sunday's 4-0 defeat at Everton , they look as far away as they ever have done since then.

The Red Devils have won the FA Cup (2016) under Louis van Gaal, while Jose Mourinho led them to a League Cup and Europa League double in 2017 - but the title and Champions League glory have eluded them.

Mourinho failed to win a trophy in 2017-18 as United finished runners-up in the League (to Manchester City) and FA Cup (to Chelsea), and the club will end the current campaign without any silverware as well.

Following Mourinho's sacking, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been tasked with bringing the glory days back to Old Trafford - but six defeats in their last eight games have left United with Champions League qualification as their sole aim.

Pogba - who won the World Cup with France in 2018 - says United cannot afford for the 2019-20 season to be another fallow year as well, telling Sky Sports: "Two seasons in a row without trophies is not good at all.

"We are Manchester United and we play to win trophies.

"Last year, we didn't win any and this year again and now (if) we don't get into the top four, obviously [it] is a very disappointing season.

"It is not good at all for this club."

Standard Sport understands that Solskjaer will be heavily backed in the summer transfer window , with rising England stars Jadon Sancho, Declan Rice and Callum Hudson-Odoi high on the wishlist.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful a deal for the Swansea winger will be agreed imminently - telling Ed Woodward he wants his summer business to be concluded by July 1.

However, Pogba's future at the club could be in doubt as Real Madrid seek to rebuild this summer as well, with Zinedine Zidane a known admirer of the midfielder .
