Pogba started in his usual attacking midfield role against Fulham and had his license to roam. As such, the Frenchman popped up almost everywhere on the pitch and was a constant threat to the opposition. Fulham had no answer to his movement, his power and his vision and every time he got the ball.
The Frenchman's first goal came at the right moment for United. Fulham were growing in stature with every passing minute, however, Pogba's acute finish silenced the crowd and stuffed the air out of the home team. But he was not content with just a goal and tried to set his teammates up constantly. His confidence and improvement under Solskjaer is a huge boost to United ahead of a crucial week.
When he scored his second of the night from the penalty spot, the game was all but over. Once again, Paul Pogba had inspired United to three points with man of the match display.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
