Real Madrid target Paul Pogba isn't going anywhere

Paul Pogba in action against Chelsea in Manchester United's season opener

Neither Paul Pogba nor Real Madrid have downplayed their interest in each other and despite the player himself admitting that it might be time for him to seek a new challenge, no move has happened. As per Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, that situation won't change this summer.

Speaking to the press ahead of Manchester United's Monday night game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Solskjaer said:

"You always put question marks around Paul, don't you? I've got no concerns on Paul. For me, he is going to stay."

"I don't think it is odd saying, 'I enjoy playing, I have fun with my team-mates, I enjoy what I'm doing, I love my job - and I've enjoyed the game'.

"Of course, that sentence with the question mark about him - there's always question marks about Paul Pogba.

"There's not one press conference where I have not answered a question about Paul Pogba."
