For Pogba, he now has four goals and four assists since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over. No player on United has been involved in more scoring strikes since the managerial change was made.
If United hold on to win, Solskjaer will become the first manager in club history to win all six of his games across all competitions. As it stands right now, he’s the first boss since Sir Matt Busby to emerge victorious in all of his first five. The revitalization and reactivation of Paul Pogba is a massive reason why. The Frenchman’s passing ability is among the best in the world.
Look at this angle, and tweet caption, for another illustration of how and why that is.

If United hold on to win, it would be their first victory over a big six rival this season.
