And after the game, Solskjaer was insistent the World Cup winner would be a part of his plans for next season.
The Man Utd boss roared: “Paul is our player and has got two years left on his contract.
“There is also the option of another year so you can expect Paul to be here.”
The £89million France star has been linked with a move to Juventus or Real Madrid this summer.
Despite playing just seven times in the Premier League this season, United are hoping to recoup around £150m for the mercurial midfielder.

But Pogba is expected to be back in first XI training next week after being out since December with an ankle injury.
Odion Ighalo hit a wondergoal in Austria and Solskjaer revealed talks are ongoing over turning his loan into a permanent transfer.
After his incredible purple patch continued, the boss said: “He’s got the lot.”
On the win, the Norwegian boss said: “It’s fantastic but we need to keep going. It’s a big game on Sunday, Tottenham away. It’s part of the reason we made a couple of changes.
“Changes are part of being a United player, you don’t play every game but you’re happy at the end if you win trophies.
“It’s not just about playing, it’s about winning and helping the team.
“If you play for 60, 70, 80 or 10 minutes you should be proud and have confidence.
“We’re human beings and footballers with confidence will play and perform better than footballers without confidence, and we’ve got so many players with confidence because they’re doing well.
“They deserve to be confident and it’s harder and harder to pick an XI.
“We made a few changes today and some of the players really grabbed their opportunity and put pressure on the ones who have been playing most of the minutes.”
