He knows.“Nothing really changed, he just came back to the time of Ferguson. The training, the way we use the ball, it’s everything like before.” On what Solskjaer brings as a manager, with the Norwegian having previously spent time with United coaching within their youth and reserve ranks, Pogba added: “He’s always been really smiley, a person close to the players, understanding them.“The respect gets a bit higher now but he’s still the same person.” Early success for Solskjaer has put him in contention to land the managerial reins on a permanent basis.There is, however, still a lot of work to be done, with a top-four finish considered to be the minimum requirement for a club of United’s stature.Pogba believes Champions League football can be delivered, with the Red Devils showing that they are back on the right track. The World Cup winner added: “We have goals, that’s our objective, to go back to the top.“The top four, we can do it. We know we can do it.” United sit six points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea at present but will get the opportunity to close that gap, albeit briefly, when they play host to Brighton on Saturday afternoon – with Maurizio Sarri’s side involved in an evening derby date with London rivals Arsenal.</blockquote>
