Manchester United vs Stoke City: what we learned
-
Herrera and Pogba make a good pairing
Manchester United fans heaved a sigh of relief when the team sheets were announced. The reason: Marouane Fellaini had finally been benched.
Crowd favourite: Ander Herrera, started in place of the Belgian. And from the beginning it was apparent what United had been missing for so long.
Herrera’s fluid passing and ability to be at the right place at the right time far outweighs Fellaini’s weighty qualities. The Spaniard’s presence allowed Pogba to enjoy a free role.
The results were apparent early on. Pogba’s pass played in Zlatan, as early as the second minute. Soon, Pogba himself got into position only to shoot wide. It might be too early to call this, but Pogba and Herrerra seems to be the way to go.
