OGS has caused a major turnaround at United

#2 Pogba and Rashford performing wonderfully

Paul Pogba has justified his price-tag since the appointment of Solskjaer and has emerged as the best midfielder in the Premier League. He now has 14 goals and 10 assists this season and has hardly put a step wrong since Solskjaer’s appointment.

He has scored wonderful goals with shots from outside the opposition penalty box, delivered crosses from the flanks which have led to goals, and also defended well by falling back to his own half at times.

Marcus Rashford has also come of age in the last month or so, and now has 10 goals from 33 matches this season. He has earned a regular place in United’s starting line-up and scored against the likes of Tottenham and Leicester City.

Pogba was brilliant against the likes of Chelsea and Cardiff City and made full use of the attacking freedom given to him by Solskjaer. These two have contributed immensely towards United’s rise under Solskjaer.
