Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will consider starting Paul Pogba today against Manchester City.

The Manchester Evening News says Pogba will be considered for selection from the start for United against City despite his agent outlining his intention to transfer the midfielder next month.

Pogba's agent Mino Raiola claimed the Frenchman was 'unhappy' in an interview with Turin-based outlet Tuttosport on Monday and 'the best solution for all concerned is if he (Pogba) moves in the next window'.

Pogba was dropped for the Champions League ejection by RB Leipzig on Tuesday but came on in the second-half and contributed to United's second goal as they threatened to mount another comeback.

Despite wanting out of United for upwards of two years, Pogba's professionalism has been praised by behind-the-scenes sources at the club and he remains highly regarded by teammates. Solskjaer compared Pogba's attitude with that of unnamed players who had refused to train during their time at United.
