Pogba has been linked with a return to Juventus or a switch to Real Madrid this summer.
The World Cup winner has appeared just seven times in the Premier League this season because of multiple injury problems.
And Solskjaer was also embroiled in a row with Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola earlier in the campaign over his future at Old Trafford.
Ince believes they must sort out the situation with the central midfielder this summer.
“They’ve got to resolve the (Paul) Pogba situation,” Ince told Paddy Power.
“It has to be resolved. You can’t keep having what we’re having every six, seven, eight weeks. He’s going, he’s staying, the agent comes out. Pogba is not bigger than Manchester United, no player is bigger than Manchester United.
“The way Ole is going, you don’t want any disruptions. He either knuckles down and starts performing the way he should be performing for the money he cost, or they sell him.
“The biggest thing is for Man United is (Bruno) Fernandes coming in. Before that you are saying, ‘We need Pogba in there’.

“Now because he’s been out injured and Fernandes has come in, all of a sudden, ‘Do we need Pogba in there?’
“Does he get in there? I know he (Solskjaer) likes (Scott) McTominay. (Nemanja) Matic has come in and started playing well. Does Pogba start every game?
“If Ole thinks he’s not going to, he might think he can cash in and bring one or two other players in. But the saga needs to be sorted out before the start of next season because next season is a big season for Ole. A big, big season.
“But I like the way they are going now, I like what I’m seeing. I can’t make judgement yet.
“They are not there yet where Liverpool and City are, but signs are good and that’s a good thing to say because I didn’t see those signs a year ago.
“I like what I’m seeing. I like the place and I like the players they are bringing in. You’ve got to give Ole time now to take them where they need to be, which is challenging for the league title.”
United currently sit fifth in the Premier League as players start to return to training ahead of the season possibly restarting.
At present football is suspended in England due to the global coronavirus pandemic.
