"He's got the hunger" - Solskjaer praises Pogba

Pogba

entered in the second half against RB Leipzig on Tuesday night, but he couldn't stop United from falling Champions League after a 3-2 defeat.

After the game, Solskjaer replied Raiola by saying:

“As soon as Paul’s agent realizes this is a team sport and we work together the better."

Solskjaer was again asked about

Pogba

before their match with Manchester City this weekend and

Solskjaer

said he is sure of the player’s commitment.

“I think I said during the week that this is a team game and Paul is part of this team,”

Solskjaer explained.

"He's very focused on contributing when he's here. He's got the hunger and appetite to play and wants to play.

"He wants to train and he trains. There's been other players refusing to train and refusing to play – they're not here anymore of course – but Paul's not once done that.

“He's just focused on performing when he gets a chance. That's the good thing about Paul. He's got the quality and the desire to do well when he comes on, like he did against Leipzig. He had a positive impact. The short answer is he's part of the squad for tomorrow.”

United

play the derby looking to return after dropping out of the Champions League, another result that intensified the pressure on

Solskjaer

. His job is not under immediate threat but he spoke about dealing with the pressure.

“There's always pressure on you when you manage Man Utd,"

the Norwegian said. 

"That's something I had to think about when I accepted the role.

"Do I have what it takes to be in such a situation? Can you handle setbacks? Can you handle success? I think I can.

“I've got a fantastic staff around me who I use as sparring partners for discussions even [though] the conversation with the club goes on all the time. It's a continuous open dialogue. When you come to work the next day you see the quality of the players you have and you want to work with them.”
