Manchester United bought Paul Pogba for a world record fee, but for the starters, the former Juventus talisman struggled to mark his name in front of the spectators. His abysmal performances against Manchester City, Feyenoord and Watford earned a lot of criticism, but the 23-year-old reacted back in style.
Mourinho’s men were scheduled to welcome the reigning Premier League Champions Leicester City, and the Devils thrashed the Foxes with utter humiliation, but the point to remember in the game was the goal from Paul Pogba. The 23-year-old, who failed to mark any goal or assist to his name, finally found the next with a thumping header and the celebration added more stars to it.
The former Juventus playmaker was deployed alongside Ander Herrera and as the Spaniard was guiding the back four, Pogba had the license to move forward with purpose. He was impressive throughout the game and quite deservedly was awarded as the man of the match. So here is how Twitter exploded:
