The internet was given ample content yet again, as Paul Pogba sure took his sweet time in scoring the opening penalty. 12 steps were involved in his slow-jog to the spot-kick, but all United fans will be caring about is that he has found the back of the net yet again.

This cements the fact that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to build his team around Pogba. He played most of the match as a number 10, and was absolutely brilliant again.

This goal further means that he has had a crucial role to play in nearly all of Solskjaer's Premier League victories. The Frenchman is slowly shaping up to be a lethal presence at the heart of the midfield, and is looking like the player Manchester United broke the world record fee for.
