Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he isn't thinking about Paul Pogba's stats.

The 28-year-old midfielder has produced a record-breaking start to the 2021/22 campaign, nabbing seven assists in his first four games.

But Solskjaer insists he is more focused on Pogba's overall performances instead of his stat-line.

"Paul has come back in good shape," the Norwegian told a pre-match press conference ahead of Tuesday's trip to Swiss side Young Boys. "He's worked really hard over the summer. He's come back lean and fit.

"What does an assist consist of? A square pass to Bruno [Fernandes] and he puts it in the top corner? Or a great ball for Mason [Greenwood]?

"Paul has always been a great passer and he's not got assists from his best passes this season. I don't pay attention to assists, it's a social media thing. But Paul has played well for sure."
