#1 Paul Pogba leads the way

Paul Pogba has been quite consistent this season. United's defence is poor but Pogba looks more settled than ever in a Manchester United shirt. And what a matured performance this was. The one feature of almost all of United's high scoring games is Pogba's ventures into the opposition's box.

As soon as Pogba gets the ball inside the box, he takes away 3 or 4 players and opens up huge spaces. This is exactly what worked for the 2nd and 3rd goal. Of course, there is the undeniable quality to boast- that backheel to set Martial up was a thing of beauty as was the holdup play and flick to Young for United's third.

When Paul Pogba takes games by the scruff of its neck, Manchester United are difficult to stop. And if he can keep bringing his A-game for Jose Mourinho's Red Army, United can still turn this season around.

It is time to be fearless. United haven't got much to lose and they should come unshackled and play top quality football like they can.
