Former Manchester United assistant coach Steve McClaren has indicated that Paul Pogba may have considered that staying at the club will offer him the opportunity to win major trophies.
The Red Devils will most probably retain the Frenchman's services for this season, despite Real Madrid's interest this summer, and the 58-year-old claimed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer helped the midfielder recover his form last season.
"When Ole first came in, he got the best out of Pogba for the first 15 games," McClaren told Sky Sports.
"Ole believes he can get the best out of him and especially with [Harry] Maguire and the way they have started, Pogba might think, 'yeah, I could be the king of this team.'
"These players want top players around them, to be challenging for the trophies. Manchester United demonstrated that with the summer signings [and] the first game [a 4-0 home win against Chelsea].
"Pogba might be thinking, 'they really want me and this is a good team - I could win things here.'"
