Solksjaer fears Pogba's influence in the dressing room

Manchester United manager is very aware that Paul Pogba's decision to leave is made public, despite his contract with Adidas.

According to Metro, Ole feared that the World Cup winner's actions will influence the younger players' morale.

The academy players are said to be 'a big fan' of him, and any of the 26-year-old's bad habits may be followed by them soon.

Though he is an important and respected figure in Old Trafford, and moreover, in Ole's plans for next season, the former Man United player finds that keeping him is not only a benefit but also risky.

Following the departure of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Ashley Young, the current captain, may not be in the pitch as much as last season, and Solksjaer wants a back-up captain.
