Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reveals talks are ongoing between Manchester United and Paul Pogba over urgent new contract... while Red Devils boss confirms Jesse Lingard WILL have a role to play at Old Trafford this season

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says talks are continuing with Paul Pogba's camp to persuade the Frenchman to sign a new contract at Manchester United while he tries to keep the player happy on the pitch.

Pogba has just over 10 months left on his £290,000-a-week deal before he can walk away from Old Trafford as a free agent for the second time.

United are desperate for their record £89million signing to agree new terms, but so far Pogba and his agent Mino Raiola have shown little inclination to sign.
