The Senegal international has enjoyed another fine season at Everton.

The midfielder still has three years remaining on his contract and Everton will demand nothing less than a fee of £40m.

According to the report, Solskjaer believes that Gueye’s tough-tackling style will help to bring out the best in Paul Pogba next term.

Manchester United, who failed to qualify for the Champions League next season, will conclude their Premier League campaign against Cardiff on Sunday.
