3 reasons why Manchester United won against Arsenal

#3 Pogba's brilliance

Pogba put in a stellar performance in the middle of the park

Paul Pogba is someone who can never be far from scrutiny. A world-record price tag coupled with his various haircuts and other public antics makes other fans love to hate him and United fans clamoring to defend their superstar citing his world-class capabilities.

And there is no denying he his world-class. Playing in his second consecutive match against North London rivals, he revelled in his preferred position, bossing the midfield play and controlling the game throughout. He had exceptional positional sense and made the intelligent runs and cute passes all along.

Enroute to his goal, he picked up a pass from Lingard in the middle of the pitch and marauded forward, leaving opposite skipper, Xhaka on his backside, before catching a lucky break as the ball fell to him after hitting the bar and he showed superb anticipation to divert the ball into the net to give United the lead.
