Everton 4-0 Manchester United: 5 Players who cost Red Devils the game

#2 Paul Pogba

Everton FC v Manchester United - Premier League

There is no doubt that under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Paul Pogba is the main man at Manchester United. The Norwegian had openly stated his desire to build a team around Pogba, but those feelings seem to have dispersed of late. Pogba’s inconsistency in midfield had cost United before and Solskjaer seems to be the latest victim now.

Against Everton, Pogba had Matic and Fred for company in the midfield, which meant that the Frenchman had all the liberty in the world to play his natural game. But the Frenchman stayed too deep and looked disinterested at times. He had runners ahead of him looking to be fed, but Pogba failed to bring his A game to Goodison Park.

As United were put under tremendous pressure, he was expected to initiate counter attacks and punish Everton on the break. But the Frenchman failed to find his team mates on many occasions. He is United’s leading goal scorer this season, but Pogba was hardly a goal threat against Everton. By failing to inspire his team, the Frenchman cost United the game.
