Pogba has played as a de-facto #9 at times and makes frequent forays into the opposition penalty box. He has gotten into goal-scoring positions frequently and showed great opportunism in scoring a brace against Bournemouth. Moreover, his athleticism and good ball-skills helped him a great deal in scoring those goals. He now has 24 goals from 118 matches for United.

Pogba stretched his legs a great deal to meet a cross from Marcus Rashford to score his first goal. He had started his run from near the halfway line and outran the Bournemouth defenders to tap the ball home.

He also scored from a header by out-jumping the Bournemouth defenders. To his credit, he has been in the right positions at the right times quite often in the last few matches. Pogba also has a good shot in him, and has frequently tested the opposition goalkeepers with scorching shots from outside the penalty box.
