Manchester United 1-0 Totteham: 6 men who were brilliant for  Solskjaer

#5 Paul Pogba

Pogba provided Rashford a brilliant assist to seal United's winner

The Frenchman was not consistently extraordinary on the night, but as is the case with great players, it only takes a minute to show their quality. Pogba started in his usual position in the midfield three on the night, with quite a lot of freedom. He regularly joined the front men in the first half, trying to unlock defenses and using his quick feet to find space. He came close to scoring him on a couple of times. However, it was just before the end of the first half when Paul Pogba showed just why Solskjaer wanted to build a team around him.

As Spurs lost the ball after piling the bodies forward, Lingard played the ball to Pogba near the halfway line. The Frenchman's awareness was evident, as he had noticed Rashford's run up ahead. He showed his passing range next, hitting a perfect long ball that fell to the feet of the English youngster, who was on a footrace with Vertonghen. Rashford won the race and hit a shot across the goal that found the bottom left corner and gave United the lead.

It was this moment of brilliance from the Frenchman that won United the game. However, Pogba also defended his heart out and stay compact as a part of the team under the second half onslaught from Spurs.
