Paul Pogba’s inspiration speech in the tunnel before the game stood out of the rest against Huddersfield Town on Wednesday.
Manchester United could not have asked for a better start under the interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following back-to-back victories against Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town.
The Red Devils scored as much as eight goals in these games to gain comprehensive results to bid adieu to the hectic festive fixtures.
They still have two Premier League games against Bournemouth and Newcastle United within four days, followed by the FA tie against Reading at Old Trafford.
Paul Pogba, who has often been making the headlines more often for wrong reasons was demanding his teammates to press high up and pitch and cause havoc to the opponent’s defence inside the Old Trafford tunnel before the game against Huddersfield Town.
The midfielder decided to rally the troops with an inspired team talk, “When we go we go, pressing first ones!” and “Now we’re at home. we’re at home again. Same. Same. Same! We go strong. We start strong!”

There is no doubt about the French International’s leadership skills inside the dressing room. Besides showing this quality, he has had a renaissance under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after scoring two times against the Terries.
Following a dominant display in the last two games, the interim boss was in full praise of Paul Pogba.
Speaking in the post-match press conference about the midfielders performance which was good enough to win the man of the match award, Solskjaer said “It was great to see him score two goals and he has created the goals last week at Cardiff, and now he scores them himself, so he will be even better for getting two lots of 90 minutes now and he will be fitter and fitter and improving with the team.
We looked tired towards the end and now it is important over the next two or three days that we recover and get ready for Bournemouth.”
Paul Pogba was one of the few players who carried France to the World Cup triumph. The midfielder was spotted inside the dressing room and gave a motivational speech to all of his teammates.
Eventually, they blew away the opponents Croatia 4-2 to lift the World Cup after 22 years.
He picks up his form in the crucial stage of the season, and Manchester United still have Champions League, and FA Cup within their sights despite the title hopes shading away as the day passes by.
