It is visible that the departure of Mourinho from Manchester United has given Paul Pogba a new lease of life. There is an oomph factor about him under Ole.

The French player has scored a total of 11 goals and provided 8 assists in the 23 matches he has played this season. Quite unsurprisingly, 8 of those goals and 5 assists have come in the 9 Premier League games Pogba has played under Ole.

The hard-working player was definitely not the best midfielder at the start of the season. He failed to bring out his best under the former manager. However, Pogba is playing his natural game and is performing outstandingly well under the Norwegian.

The combination of his physicality and finesse are bound to instil fear for the oppositions' defenders in the upcoming matches. The Red Devils have crawled up to 4th place in the Premier League. They now have 15 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses in their 26 matches. There is no looking back for Pogba and United now. The team plays around him and he has a staggering average of 61.91 passes in a game.
