Man Utd: Paul Pogba is ‘happy’ at club says Julien Laurens
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted he might not select Paul Pogba for tonight's game against Crystal Palace, but he won't be dropping the star due to his performances. The Norwegian insisted Pogba wouldn't be dropped by any team in the world, but might deserve a rest due to so many minutes recently.
Pogba spent the first half of the season on the sidelines through injury, playing just seven times before the coronavirus pandemic halted the season.
But having recovered from his ankle problems, he returned back to the side when the season resumed.
He immediately made an impact in his first game back, coming off the bench to win the penalty that Bruno Fernandes scored in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham.
After that, Solskjaer started him in five straight games, as he continued his impressive run of form.

Meanwhile, Pogba is reportedly close to agreeing a new five-year deal at Old Trafford.
The Frenchman has been consistently linked with a move away from the club, and was expected to leave in the summer before the coronavirus pandemic.
But now, it appears he is ready to commit his long-term future to United and agree an extension.
The Sun claims United chiefs are confident they'll be able to confirm the contract at the end of the season.
