Since the answer is that Paul has gone down a lot, he has been working hard, he is fit, I have said this many times he had a bad season last season with injuries and he had Covid this season and injury but he works hard and plays in a team that plays well and is a great motivator for everyone, ”explained Solskjaer.

Pushing his management style which has seen him get the best from a number of players including Pogba and Luke Shaw, Solskjaer responded: “I think it’s important for every player you have a one to one relationship and you have an open relationship and you can be honest about the situation.
“I try to manage each player as a different person and as a different person and that’s the best way to manage them and I hope the boys feel I am try to get the best of them to make a good team together. ”
