Solskjaer sings praises of Rashford, Pogba

Cape Town - Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba are incredibly important to the club's future success.

Solskjaer says Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba are 'vital' to his plans of returning Manchester United to the top.

Pogba has been consistently linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with the France midfielder admitting his desire to one day play for Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane.

Rashford is currently close to agreeing a new contract to stay with his boyhood club and Solskjaer insists the star pair can achieve their ambitions at United.

"I would believe so, that's our aim as a club to be achieving what we have done in the past," the manager said.

"That is the expectation here and of course we are hoping to build a team strong enough worthy of the history of the club.

"Yeah (they are two players we can build on), and you have got loads of players who you can build a team around and those are the two that you asked me about. They are vital for our future."
