Zizou, Ole downpla y Pogba meeting
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer played down talisman Paul Pogba’s meeting with Real Madrid counterpart Zinedine Zidane in Dubai, saying he did not “have any problem” with the matter.
Pogba, who has been recovering from injury in the Middle East, was spotted chatting to Zidane -- fuelling speculation about his future at Old Trafford.
Asked about the image, Solskjaer said: “Here we go with the picture! I’ve not heard Paul say he doesn’t want to be here. Paul wants to stay and play well.”
However, one journalist was quick to point out Pogba said “it could be time for a new challenge” in the summer while his agent, Mino Raiola, confirmed that he wanted to leave United.
Zidane was keen to bring Pogba to the Bernabeu in the summer and is reportedly still set on getting the France international.
Zidane also fielded questions about the picture ahead of Real’s trip to Mallorca on Saturday in La Liga.
“Pure coincidence,” said Zidane. “He was there and I was there at the event and, since we know each other, we talked. That’s all. And it was personal,
“I’m not going to tell you what we talked about, that’s between him and I. But we’ve known each other for a long time, so if we meet, we say hi and we talk.”
