Paul or most of our players have long contracts," Solskjaer said. "Paul’s never put himself out of the team, he’s always wanted to play, he’s always given his best."He’s a top, top bloke. He’s a great professional. He’s never been any problems."  The United manager would go on to suggest a possible media agenda against the midfielder - something Pogba himself can silence with more showings like this in pre-season.</blockquote>
