Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer claims "you can expect Paul Pogba to be here next season" as speculation continues over his future.

The club's record-signing has rarely been seen this term due to injury but that hasn't stopped him making the headlines.

In the summer Pogba made it clear he wanted to quit Old Trafford although United stood firm on their stance that he wouldn't be sold.

Mino Raiola, Pogba's agent, has continued to do his best to create a divide between the club and the player.

But Solskjaer has no doubts that the World Cup winner will be a United player next season.

He said: "Paul's our player. He has two years left on his contract, a year plus the option of another. You can expect Paul to be here (next season), yeah."

Real Madrid and Juventus are thought to be the midfielder's most likely destination should an exit be sealed.

Raiola, who has hit out at Solskjaer this season, recently said that Italy was Pogba's "home" after he spent four years in Turin before returning to Old Trafford.

Last month he also made comments which appeared to suggest talks had been held last summer between the Norwegian and the player.

He said: "Before Solskjaer makes comments about things I say he should inform himself better about the content of what has been said. ⠀

"Until now I was maybe too nice to him. Solskjaer should just remember things that he said in the summer to Paul.

"I think Solskjaer may be frustrated for different reasons and is now mixing up some issues. I think that Solskjaer has other things to worry about."

The recently arrival of Bruno Fernandes at United has seen some question whether the Frenchman is that big of a miss given how the Portuguese star has performed.

But Solskjaer has repeatedly backed Pogba despite his questionable actions in public which suggest his mind is elsewhere.

The 26-year-old has made just eight appearances for the Red Devils this term as they target a place in next season's Champions League.
