While speaking to reporters ahead of the clash against Aston Villa, Man United boss Solskjaer addressed the Pogba contract issue.

"Of course we want to keep the best players around", said Solskjaer when asked about a potential Pogba contract extension. The Norwegian then explained that this summer window might not be business as usual due to the pandemic as Man United may not be able to demand their desired transfer fees if they decide to cash in on Pogba. Leroy Sane's reported £44.7m (€49m) move from Man City to Bayern Munich appears to have set the tone for the summer window. This has also led fans to believe that Pobga might not be sold this summer.
