OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER says he has got rid of the Manchester United troublemakers — and Paul Pogba was not one of them.
Solskjaer revealed he managed stars in his two years at Old Trafford who refused to train and play but refused to name any.
Pogba, 27, and his agent have been agitating to force a transfer — but Solskjaer says the Frenchman has never refused to play or train.
Solskjaer said: “This is a team game and Paul is part of this team.
“He’s very focused on contributing. 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.”
Despite this week’s elimination from the Champions League after defeat at RB Leipzig, the United boss added: “I feel we’re getting better and better and looking more like a Manchester United team I want, with fast attackers, a dynamic.
“We have good players and individual quality that can create magic out of nothing — that’s always been at Manchester United.
“We can see more of the penetration and consistency everyone says we don’t have.
“We have won the last four in the league, which has become a good run, and hopefully that continues.”
