I don’t pay attention to Pogba assists – Solskjaer

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has claimed that he is uninterested in how many assists Paul Pogba has delivered for the Red Devils this season.

TheNewsGuru reports that, Pogba already have seven assists in his first four games, and is already a third of the way to the all-time Premier League season record of 20 held by Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry.

“Paul has come back in good shape,” Solskjaer told a pre-match press briefing ahead of his side’s trip to Young Boys. “He’s worked really hard over the summer. He’s come back lean and fit.

“What does an assist consist of? A square pass to Bruno [Fernandes] and he puts it in the top corner? Or a great ball for Mason [Greenwood]?

“Paul has always been a great passer and he’s not got assists from his best passes this season. I don’t pay attention to assists, it’s a social media thing. But Paul has played well for sure.”
