Here’s how Twitter reacted to Pogba’s performance:
Another assist for Pogba. People in the media giving him stick recently for some reason. Put some respect on His name. He was an integral part of France’s World Cup winning side, four time Serie A winner, Europa league winner…and he’s only 25 yrs old. Enjoy this thread: pic.twitter.com/VyMfTV2R6k

What a pass that is from Pogba. Barely had time to look and still picked out Rashford.

That’s is Marcus! That’s the finishing we’re looking for! Fantastic ball from Pogba. Good work from Sanchez putting them under pressure to force the mistake too. Great start.

Think United may just have been right choosing Paul Pogba over Jose Mourinho

That goal showed exactly what United are trying to do under Solskjaer. Pogba wins the ball back high up the pitch and a quick pass forward gets Rashford in. Sums up the new style.

Scholes: “I’ve been one of Pogba’s biggest critics and I hated doing it, but the reason I was doing it is because I’ve played alongside the lad. I’ve seen over the years what a talent this player is.”

That pass from @paulpogba for United’s goal was obscene.
When he’s not sulking like a big baby, he’s a great player. #LCFCvMUFC— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 3, 2019
