Solskjaer’s Ways to Respond to Rumors of Pogba and Lukaku Leaving

DBasia.news –  Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, manager of Manchester United, uses the Sir Alex Ferguson method when responding to Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba’s rumors.

The two players were brought by Solskjaer into the United squad who were on a pre-season tour at the moment. Despite the fact, Lukaku is being linked to Inter Milan, while Pogba is linked with Juventus and Real Madrid.

“This summer has been going on very long. There are various speculations about players that we can bring or release. But for me, there is no significant change in our squad. I have spoken to all the players, Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and others. “

“As far as I know, no offers are coming in, we don’t need to let go of the players in our squad,” Solskjaer said to the media crew in response to rumors of the transfer of Pogba, Lukaku, and other speculations.

Firm answer. Also, Solskjaer did not need to bother thinking about the fate of both because at this time he only wanted Pogba and Lukaku to focus on practicing staring at the new season.

Solskjaer, 46, probably knew that Pogba had expressed his desire to move – which was supported by Mino Raiola (Pogba’s agent), or also Lukaku’s desire to play in Serie A.

However, the Norwegian manager prefers to discuss the club’s collective interests and insists that United do not need to sell players. At first glance, Solskjaer’s style responds to the media as well as Ferguson in the past.

James Cooper, Sky Sports reporter, who was present at the conference session that took place in Australia, saw Solskjaer applying Ferguson’s method: siege mentality. In short, the term means a defensive or paranoid attitude.

“He (Solskjaer) talked about the agenda for Paul Pogba by the media. I think that is not something that the media really do – I think it is clear that British media want to see world-class players become world-class players for Manchester United,” Cooper said.

“I think that’s how they want it and I think, maybe only Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has changed the situation a little, using Sir Alex Ferguson’s mentality – “We fight them” at Manchester United and hope to get positive things from him.”

There is no guarantee that the method applied by Solskjaer has succeeded in maintaining Pogba or Lukaku. But, Man United fans are quite satisfied with the fact Solskjaer protects his team without thinking of one of the individuals who are becoming news.
