Solskjaer has praised the midfielder ahead of the tie, believing that nobody compares to Pogba - and that will no doubt be firmly in Kop boss Jurgen Klopp’s mind.
“I’ve been quoted so many times if you build your team around Paul Pogba, I said a couple of years back, he’s a top, top player I’ve always liked,” Solskjaer said.
“He’s a World Cup winner, a leader in the dressing room and wants the ball all the time.
“My idea was to get him playing to the best of his abilities as an attacking midfielder.
“PSG man marked him, other teams will, I don’t know if Liverpool will, if Liverpool do he will have experienced that that was what stopped Paul and created space for others.
“There are different types of midfielders but in his mould there’s no one near him with his physical presence, a great close technique, his diving header against Chelsea, did the same against Bournemouth.

“But he can also spray passes, I don’t think that’s his best position but he can do that as well.
“You’ve got Matic and Herrera that makes Paul’s job what it is to complement what it is.
“You can’t put 11 Ronaldos or 11 Messis on the pitch - it’s about complementing each other attributes.”
Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell believes Ander Herrera has been key to Pogba’s recent success.
