'We're Manchester United, we don't have to sell, Pogba still has effectively three years left on his £300,000-a-week contract at the club: Solskjaer

Speaking to the media for the first time on tour at the WACA Stadium in Perth, Solskjaer said: 'As far as I'm aware there have been no bids for any players. We are Man United and we don't have to sell. It's business as usual. 

Raiola is trying to engineer Pogba's exit from Old Trafford after both men indicated over the last month that the Frenchman is ready to leave United for a second time.

But Pogba still has effectively three years left on his £300,000-a-week contract at the club, and Solskjaer reminded him that United are under no pressure to sell their prize asset amid interest from Real Madrid and Juventus.
'Paul has never been a concern for me. He's working hard, he's a true professional and a proud boy, same answer again. I can't be sitting here talking about what Paul and his agent are saying. He's got a few years left of his contract and he's been fantastic.

'I'm here to talk about the season... pre-season coming. Paul's never put himself out of the team, always given his best and I can't report anything. Agents talk all the time and we've not had any bids, that's all I can say for this matter.


'I've spoken to Paul, Romelu (Lukaku), Rashy (Marcus Rashford), Jesse (Lingard), to all of them more or less. You keep in touch with them. We don't have any bids for our players, so other than Paul most of our players have long contracts.'

Solskjaer even went so far as to suggest there is a media agenda against Pogba following reports of a spat with Lingard during a team walkabout in Perth. The incident was caught on an official video broadcast by the club, although United insist it was misconstrued.

'Paul looks like it's going to be a media… I don't want to call it an agenda against Paul, but he's a great professional and he has a heart of gold. Jesse and Paul yesterday walking around and it's portrayed as a fight between the two boys.'

'I'm not just talking about Mino Raiola, there are loads of agents looking after their clients. We've got players and a team I've got to look after.'

Romelu Lukaku has also been heavily linked with a move to Inter Milan while there are question marks over the futures of Alexis Sanchez and David de Gea.

Asked what his stance is on keep unhappy players, Solskjaer replied: 'As long as they're here they are professionals, working giving everything they've got, agents can talk. We've got our own talks behind the scenes and I'm not going to tell you what we're talking about.

'There's been loads of talk and speculation about many of our players, both ins and outs, but for me it's business as usual. When you're at Man United you expect these things to pop up.
