He made by far the most easy errors of all the players on the pitch but he was also behind 80% of everything we created going forwards. Strange game for him but he was the difference maker no doubt.
 
Hope we spend another £90m on a player like this! Griezman would be nice!
 
He has some loose passes at times but he's always trying to make something happen and his energy and workrate has been great under Jose, but tonight showed what sets players like Pogba apart, they chage games, that fantastic piece of play to set up the winner came as it was looking like things were fading out to another disheartening draw, he turned the tide for us by producing a please of top dawer quality, that is what top teams need, not always 94% passing accuracy.
 
He's a beast. Had some minor mistakes but he's joy to watch and he makes us play, everything goes through him.
 
Very good and close to man of the match. Zlatan for me, but it's great to see all our signings looking good. Actually all four are quality signings.
 
He lost McArthur for the Palace goal.
That goal the problem should be the question where is my Carrick. That was supposed his area. P.Jones was pulled out of position but can't fault him for a brilliant backheel. Once that backheel went through, hardly anything Pogba can do unless he pulled McArthur down since the angle of play changed significant in favor of Palace attacker.
 
Well pick from Michael Owen, Owen Hargreaves, Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand then.
Owen, Scholes and Rio aren't in the studio. You apparently watched the game, all signs point to the contrary however.
 
Some of his passing at times is ridiculous.

The ball for Rooneys attempt was class, just a shame Rooney didn't score.
 
This guy just loves to dink the ball into the box to create a big chance, always does it with such precision.
 
I'm only having a bit of fun, but he is very sloppy generally. And he is immature in terms of decision making. And he is overrated in my opinion. But with the lack of CMs about these days, and the fact he is homegrown, then I guess it's money well spent?
 
He makes a difference when he plays well, that's for sure. He's exactly what I expected tbh. I'm looking forward to seeing him when surrounded by a bit more quality.
 
Thats easily his best performance I think.

When he gets his decision making sorted he'll be an absolute monster. I don't think I can think of a player that has Pogba's combination of technical ability and physicality. Yaya Toure is probably the closest in recent years but I don't think he could ever come close to the moments of outrageous skill that Pogba produces regularly.
 
Tonight, he carried the team on his back. He behaved like the leader and the WC player that he's. MOTM !
 
Owen, Scholes and Rio aren't in the studio. You apparently watched the game, all signs point to the contrary however.

Watch Gary Neville give him the MOTM. Oh i mean Watch Scholes do that - not in the studio.. Watch Rio. Watch Owen. WATCH.
 
McArthur was his man to keep in the goal.. Good for him to listen to Carrick and keep at it ´till the end. Hasn't forgot that in Italy..
 
He was involved in all our best stuff, several moments of brilliance, he also made me rage several times with sloppy play, strange game from him IMO.
 
IF we had a better standard of player working around him then Pogba could easily be the best player in the league.

If zlatans finishing at times early in the season wasn't terrible and Pogba himself stopped hitting the Woodwork, he'd likely be in double figure for each goals and assists already.

He's had a couple of average games but on the whole he's been very good and he will only get better. Tonight was another brilliant performance.
 
It's great to finally have someone who can pick out that pass that unlocks a defense again and someone who can finish the chances (zlatan, for the most part) all of joses signings look class and have improved us. Imagine us after another window or two? Back in the game! I also love watching us again!
 
He's such an amazing player. It's still surreal that he's putting in these performances for us. Long may they continue!
 
A little sloppy at times and made some wrong decisions. You can't fault him too much though because he is a match-winner and had some moments of real quality.
 
I overreacted in the match thread about Pogba but you have to use someone as a scapegoat in the absence of Fellaini.:) But seriously, sometimes I get frustrated when such a good player with his talent makes such simple mistakes that can easilly be ironed out of his game. He needs to stop making it difficult for himself and make a simple pass instead of dwelling on the ball.
 
He made by far the most easy errors of all the players on the pitch but he was also behind 80% of everything we created going forwards. Strange game for him but he was the difference maker no doubt.

My feelings exactly. I think hes to nonchalant at times and makes a mess of the basics and he makes some terrible decisions on the ball at times. Yet, two minutes later he can produce a moment of pure magic.

It's easy to forget he is only 23 though, and i expect him to improve the weak parts of his game. What a player though
 
I'll just repeat myself from a week ago:

If things had gone his way, he should have 8-10 assists to his name, too. He's great at finding key-passes and final balls.

His strengths are very evident. Strength, athleticism, technique, control, getting the ball from midfield to attack, set pieces, quick passing, movement, long range shots - the list goes on. He's consistently, reliably good at what he's good at. Forget the fee, he's a young world-class midfielder I'm very glad to have in our team.

When was the last time a Man United midfielder dominated the game like Pogba did today? Genuine question.
Best performance from him in a United shirt, so far. He might already be the best around, but he's also getting better and better.
 
He's approaching genius, so his occasional moments of stupidity are all the more frustrating.
 
He's starting to show why we broke the transfer record for him. He's still making unforced mistakes while in possession and shows a lack of concentration at times, but the most important thing is he's stopped letting the mistakes ruin the whole game for him.

He stepped it up today and that's why we won the game.
