Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hopes Paul Pogba follows in his footsteps by ignoring PSG interest and signing new contract... while he eyes defensive reinforcements with Raphael Varane firmly on club's radar

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants Paul Pogba to join him in signing a new contract at Manchester United – and would welcome Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane arriving to strengthen the club’s defence.

Solskjaer was given a new three-year contract this weekend to stay at Old Trafford as a reward for stabilising the club post-Jose Mourinho.

But after watching his understrength side beaten 4-2 by QPR in a pre-season friendly, the Norwegian addressed the issues that need to be settled before United mount a title challenge next season, starting with the future of Pogba who has only a year left on his current deal and is wanted by Paris St Germain.
