Simply put, Paul Pogba provided a pass and/or assist of the year nominee with this play 9′ in. This is just stunning and sublime, as the Frenchman places the ball perfectly, across massive traffic, to Marcus Rashford for the score. Rashford scored the only goal of the first half, for either side in 100th Premier League appearance.
Have a watch below:

This play inspired a flurry of “Paul Pogba is the greatest midfielder in the world right now” tweets from Man United fan accounts all over the world. In the nine and a half games that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been in charge, Pogba has six goals and five assists.
Perhaps no individual player better epitomizes the massive turnaround from Jose Mourinho to Solskjaer better than Pogba. If there is another player who embodies the prodigious improvement at the club since the managerial switch it’s Rashford, who has now scored in his four away games.
It’s still currently halftime, where United currently lead Leicester 1-0.
