JAKARTA - Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has denied rumors that there is a rift between him and coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The French player said the rumors were fake news.

Pogba's current contract is entering his final year at Manchester United. The club's management is known to be trying to keep the 28-year-old midfielder at Old Trafford.

However, British media The Sun recently issued an updated report regarding speculation over Pogba's future. They claim Pogba wants to leave Manchester United while Solskjaer is still in charge of the Red Devils.

The report even claims that Pogba refused to speak to Solskjaer after Manchester United were humiliated by Liverpool 5-0 at Old Trafford last weekend.

Not accepting the news, Pogba clarified through his social media accounts.

Through his Twitter account, Pogba denied all the reports and said the journalist in question only wanted to create a sensation by making hoax news.

"The media once again wants to create polemics with 100 percent fake news. They use big lies to create a headline," he wrote on Instagram Stories, quoted by Sky Sports on Wednesday.

"The journalist who used my name to create this polemic is making up something that doesn't exist."

Pogba also denied reports he wanted to leave United because of Solskjaer, saying he respects the coach and never intended to leave as reported.

"The only reason why I'm clarifying this is because they don't respect my coach, my club and my supporters," he continued.

"My message is only one: the less you (MU fans) read news like this the better. Because they (journalists) have no shame and will say whatever they like without any basis," he said.
