The midfielder opened the goalscoring in the fifth minute, and doubled the lead with a towering header on Ander Herrera’s cross.
He was adjudged the man of the match, and stated in the post-match interview that the change in team’s playing style has been beneficial.
After the game, a video surfaced on social media platforms showed that Paul Pogba practised his goal celebration ahead of the game, during the training session!

Pogba has stepped up brilliantly under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The midfielder has been involved in 7 goals since the appointment of the Norwegian manager.
Manchester United, with this win, have reduced the gap with the fifth-placed Arsenal to three points. Arsenal conceded a heavy 5-1 defeat to Liverpool on Saturday.
Since the arrival of Solskjaer, Manchester United’s goal difference has also improved tremendously. The side has a positive GD of 9, which is only three less than the Gunners (12).
Manchester United will return to action on January 2 as they take on Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United at St. James Park.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Pogba’s performance:
Magnificent performance from @paulpogba in this game. Not only has his passing been divine but he looks a constant threat now that the shackles are off this @ManUtd side.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is awestruck by his players. Listen to the way he describes Rashford’s play for Pogba’s opening goal! He absolutely loves the club. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to be leading this club until May. 🇾🇪 #mufc [MU] pic.twitter.com/mCChaUecev

Pogba: “We needed a win and we had a great performance. There’s still a long way to go. We are Manchester United and we need to keep up. We need to be at the top of the league. A team needs to enjoy playing football, that’s it.” #mufc [Sky]

Pleased to report that we can close the missing person report for Paul #Pogba as he finally turned up this season! Be nice if he’d reimburse the #mufc fans who’ve paid to watch him between August – December 🤔
