Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been encouraged by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer not to change his style after his error led to Crystal Palace's winner at Old Trafford.
Pogba was robbed of possession by Palace enforcer Cheikhou Kouyate in stoppage-time and the breakaway ended with a stoppage-time strike from Patrick van Aanholt past a feeble David de Gea.
Pogba constantly demanded the ball throughout United's defeat to Palace on Saturday and Solskjaer has no intention of tempering the Frenchman's style on the back of his error.
"I thought, as the rest of the team, he grew in the game," Solskjaer said. "He wins the ball really well for our first goal, plays some great passes, and he knows - and we know - he's going to want the ball all the time.
"And he knows he lost the ball but he will lose the ball again and he will try again. So no problem with that.
"Well done Paul winning the ball back [for the first goal], we're going forward and a great finish, top corner. Then in the last five minutes, we should have managed them better because Anthony [Martial] was injured, he was hobbling around. So he couldn't really give us anything and we played with 10 men.
"So maybe we should have played a few more passes and they wouldn't have come at us. But that happens and they scored a good goal."

Ole is a good coach but lacks focus on better team selection and substution. Pogba, Mata & Pereira are good play makers and should play upfront position 10. Why use Pogba in defensive position? Fred and Mactimony can play better in defensive midfield as they push the ball forward. Pogba is slow in that position and needs to play upfront where he is good in. James and Lingard should come in as subs. Lastly, Ole's time for substution is very poor. You cant do substution the last 4 mins and expect to win the game.

this may sounds Good or Great, but it'll be Gorgeous 👇🏾 Remove Zidane from Madrid and install Mourinho. Remove Solskjaer from Manchester and install Zidane. Send back Solskjaer to Cardiff City.
