“He’s one of our, of course, big performers on the big stage.
“He knows the game against PSG [when Pogba was sent off] was not his greatest moment so he is only focused on playing well tomorrow against Barcelona and I cannot see him not playing for Man United next season either.”
Solskjaer faces a selection dilemma heading into Wednesday evening’s match, with four of United’s first-team players missing training on Tuesday.
