Manchester City 2-3 Manchester United: 5 Talking Points 

Manchester City v Manchester United - Premier League
The script was written for Pogba to steal City's thunder

#4 Will the real Paul Pogba please stand up?

Manchester City v Manchester United - Premier League
Fair to say the Frenchman won this round

Manchester City were well on their way to doing the unthinkable and win it all against their historical foes, their derby rivals, their arch nemesis!

But then, Manchester United's estranged partner in a stormy relationship - Paul Pogba, came up with an even better "Say whaaa..." comeback (cue the whole Pep-Raiola fiasco).

It was all done to win one over those he's been religiously taught to reserve all his hatred for, those noisy neighbours who deserve a solid spanking by the footballing Gods for forgetting that it's not all roses and champagnes at the top level because almost just as often, you get horribly stood up.

The French international has arguably been going through the worst patch of form since he first lit up the world stage with his enigmatic skills. With reports of his equation with Jose souring doing the rounds, the magnificent midfielder finally decided to let his football do all the talking!

A determined lunge to get to the ball encapsulated what has been missing in United's record signing's play since the turn of the year. Pogba presented a much more mature version of himself than he has this season and took things to heart and galvanised a come-back, scoring two in a matter of minutes and the Red Devil reared his ugly head at the Etihad.

What a performance by Pogba. Simply incredible; been dying to see this from him for so long now! What a night to come up with it! What an undeniable talent!
