Paul Pogba has branded a report suggesting he snubbed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Manchester United’s loss to Liverpool and shelved contract talks as “fake news”.

The 28-year-old was sent off for a challenge on Naby Keita during United’s 5-0 defeat on Sunday, having only come on as a substitute at half-time.

According to a report in The Sun, Pogba apologized to his teammates but did not speak to manager Solskjaer and put talks of a new contract on hold following the match.

But Pogba labeled the report “fake news” on social media, calling it “big lies to make headlines”.

Pogba’s current contract is due to expire in the summer when he will be able to leave the club on a free transfer.

Speaking to The Times about his client, Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola said: “You would have to ask Manchester United about it. At this moment everything is calm. There is no update.”
