Manchester United eventually retained their place following their hard-fought win at Fulham.
Paul Pogba’s goal stole the headlines after his left-foot strike majestically handed United all three points but the midfielder had another noteworthy display that caught the attention of many fans.
The Reds were under pressure from Fulham, Paul Pogba received a pass and had to quickly pushed the ball with his right foot to his left in order to locate Bruno Fernandes with a left-foot long pass. The Frenchman did all this whilst under pressure from two Fulham’s players.
Pogba has now won Manchester United two matches from three after scoring the match-winning goals at Burnley and Fulham.
“We have always said Paul [Pogba] can do everything, he can play wide, play in midfield, create chances and shoot,” Solskjaer said of Paul Pogba’s performance. “Today we felt his position was midfield and what a goal with his left foot. He was so committed and got tackles in as well.
