Pogba celebrates his goal with Smalling

So much has been said of Pogba's role in the team and it is one of the hottest talking points among the United faithful. Without question, we can see the best out of him when he is deployed in a free role and given the creative burden he wants.

But Mourinho has rarely allowed him that at the Old Trafford outfit and it is always a mystery because he has always delivered when given the freedom to play at will.

Two assists against Arsenal, another two against Everton and today, two fantastic goals.

A match that will mean so much to him and a match in which he needed to make a big statement, which he happily obliged to.

The two goals came within two minutes and it also served as a warning to everyone who writes him off very often, that they have not seen his best in the red colour of Manchester United yet.
