Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been asked if we've already seen the best of Paul Pogba.

At this morning's Champions League interrupted video conference, Solskjaer was asked if Pogba would ever reach his potential.

But the manager leapt to the defence of the 27-year-old.

"Every player is frustrated after the defeat," he said.

"We need consistency from every one of our players. Paul has had a difficult period with injury, with COVID, so I think we have seen plenty of positives."

Meanwhile, Alex Telles won't make their clash at Istanbul Basaksehir.

“Apart from being a bit flat and disappointed [after the Arsenal defeat], as you'd expect, there are no more injuries and I think the squad will look similar again," Solskjaer told MUTV.

“Jesse [Lingard] has trained. We'll see if there is any reaction.

"He trained today [Monday]. We'll see if there is any reaction. He might be able to travel to Istanbul but we're not sure yet. It's looking brighter.

“Alex needs to be negative on his next test, so let's hope we can get him back as soon as possible.“
