Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted with Paul Pogba’s performance in United’s 3-2 win over Sheffield United on Thursday.
Pogba set up Anthony Martial’s goal at Bramall Lane as United became the fourth side in English top-flight history to record 10 consecutive away league wins.
Only Alex Telles (96) had more touches than Pogba (91), while the France international won three of his six aerial duels and gained possession eight times.
Solskjaer praised the midfielder, who has been linked with a move away from the Premier League giants.
“We made a decision. Of course, we know [Pogba’s] strength in the air. We knew he was going to be important for us. He won almost every single header,” he told a news conference.
“His vision, creativity. Paul’s responded really well to the work he’s been doing. He’s fit now. Excellent performance.”
