3 simple things Solksjaer has done to transform Manchester United into winners again

#1 Taking the defensive burden off Paul Pogba

Pogba is gradually proving his worth at Manchester United.

One of the simple and most essential things Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did after his appointment as the interim manager was letting Paul Pogba play further up the pitch. He knew Paul since the academy days which made Solskjaer's job much more comfortable.

Pogba became Manchester United's costliest player after his transfer from Juventus in 2016. Since then, till Solskjaer appointment, it has been frustrating for the Frenchman who fell out with Jose Mourinho and lost his place in the starting line up. His absence hindered United's performance as they looked short of creativity in the middle of the park.

The former Juventus star always played in a three-person midfield which allowed him to showcase his attacking prowess while the other two midfielders did most of the defensive duties. Solskjaer made sure Paul played in a more advanced role with mostly Matic and Herrera sitting deep in a defensive position.

This simple change transformed Pogba's game as he bagged braces against both Huddersfield and Bournemouth. He was the heart of mostly everything United created from the midfield. Paul is a force to reckon with, and if he is happy, United could go a long way in making impressive progress at the end of the season.
