The tension between Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba had reached a tipping point towards the end of the Portuguese's reign, and it became clear that someone had to go.

The management decided to stick with the Frenchman, and have been rewarded by some sublime displays so far.

Football can be a simple game at times, you sometimes just need your best player at his or her best to win matches. For Manchester United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, that has proven to be the case as Pogba has performed at his best to elevate his side.

When Pogba turns it on, there are a few players in the Premier League with his combination of athleticism, vision, and genius.

While he was instrumental against Cardiff, it was against Huddersfield, and Bournemouth, that he really turned it on, grabbing a brace in each encounter on his way to becoming Manchester United's 'Player Of The Month' for December.
