Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confident to convince Paul Pogba to stay at Manchester United
According to reports, Juventus are already preparing a whopping £120 million bid for the midfielder.
Manchester United boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident that he will be able to convince Paul Pogba to stay at Manchester United. The Frenchman reportedly have made up his mind to leave Old Trafford with clubs like Real Madrid and Juventus heavily linked with the star midfielder.
Pogba was Manchester United's top scorer last season and he is very much in Solskjaer's plans for the future. The former Molde manager feels that he can convince the midfield ace during the pre-season tours of Australia, Singapore and China.
Solskjaer shares a good relationship with Pogba, unlike his predecessor Jose Mourinho. Hence the Norwegian feels that he has created a positive atmosphere in the team since taking the responsibilities last season and according to Spanish newspaper AS, he is hopeful that he will be able to change Pogba's mind.
The French midfielder returned to United on Sunday ahead of their flight to Perth, Australia. But reports suggest that the 26-year old may force his way out of the club this summer.

Right after landing in Western Australia, Paul Pogba once again became the centre of attraction with his tussle with a teammate, Jesse Lingard.
In a video posted by the club on Twitter, it shows that the two were involved in a clash and defender Victor Lindelof had to come in between and put an arm around the Frenchman to make things calm again. It clearly indicates that the former Juventus midfielder is not happy with his current situation as he vented it out on Lingard.
It all happened when the whole squad was taking a stroll around the area having just landed in Perth.
Manchester United start their first leg of the pre-season at Perth against A-League side, Perth Glory followed by EFL Championship side Leeds United this week.
The situation between Pogba and Lingard did not stop there as the French World Cup winner was seen staring down at the England international in training. Solskjaer's men were seen completing their drills at the famous WACA cricket ground.

The Premier League transfer market ends on August 8 but the Italian window and Spanish window will be open right till the end of August. Hence both Juventus and Real Madrid may consider roping in the star midfielder. According to reports Juventus are already preparing a whopping £120 million bid for the midfielder and it will be difficult for United to resist such a handsome offer.
