"Have you not seen the game, where Paul was playing? Go back and see the game, you can see where Paul was playing."
It was a little tetchy but this was indeed a change of position for Pogba after operating on the left of a front three in the win over Leeds - in which he provided four assists - and the draw at Southampton in which he set up Mason Greenwood's equalizer.
With Cristiano Ronaldo's return imminent, the competition for those forward positions increases. The temptation to fit Pogba in as one of the two midfielders is understandable. But it feels like a fudge.
The problem is that the switch brings negatives as well as positives - both of which were evident against Wolves.
Naturally, Solskjaer preferred to accentuate the positive
"I think we struggled in the first half to get the rhythm, the hustle and bustle of the game, it was really quick. In the second half, I thought we settled it really well.
"Paul took control of the game and did really, really well. A couple of times he plays Bruno [Fernandes] in. In the first half, he is offside. In the second half, he does the same."
There was a period in the second half during which Pogba's influence did begin to tell. Wolves' intensity dipped and he was able to dictate play. Nobody on the pitch completed more passes. With options ahead of him, he can make this game look easy.
