Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gives Paul Pogba transfer update after Wolves draw
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appears to have a strict view on Paul Pogba's future.
Man Utd: Solskjaer will delve into transfer market for 'right type'
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has provided an update on the transfer situation around Paul Pogba. The French midfielder’s future is currently uncertain, with many expecting the star to leave.
Pogba has been linked with a move away from United in the January transfer window.
The £89million-man was wanted by Real Madrid last summer, but the Spanish side were unable to afford a deal.
As a result, he was forced to stay at Old Trafford, but has barely played since.
The Frenchman has been struggling from injury this season, and is likely to need surgery - meaning he will face a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

He has played just eight times in all competitions, starting just six games.
Earlier this year, he insisted he was ready for a “new challenge”, prompting speculation he will leave the club.
But Solskjaer was quick to dampen speculation that he will leave in the current window, as he insisted there is no chance the star will go.
“You won’t see Paul go in January,” he said.

Meanwhile, reports in the Mirror suggest United have already identified a way to benefit from Pogba leaving.
The Red Devils have apparently told Inter Milan that they want to sign Lautaro Martinez before they let the Frenchman leave.
United are one of many teams keen on signing the Argentine striker, and view him as the ideal signing considering their need to sign a striker.
They have already missed out on Erling Braut Haaland - who Solskjaer was desperate to sign - after the Norwegian joined Borussia Dortmund.
Mario Mandzukic also escaped their clutches, as the Croatian joined Qatar side Al-Duhail.
Therefore, Martinez joining could be the ideal signing to make, if they want to make the best of a bad situation.
Last week, Solskjaer confirmed Pogba will be out for roughly another four months.
“He’s injured now. Three or four weeks maybe, I don't know,” he said.
“He will probably need an operation on his foot. Let’s see how long it takes for him to get back.”
