Been consistently great recently. It takes a fair bit to get MOTM ahead of Zlatan who was directly involved in all 3 goals today.
Brilliant today as he has been for a while. Think Mou said he's the best midfielder in the world. Not sure if I agree, but he is top 5 easily. Probably top 3. Modric for me when fit is still the best.
He's looked a lot more up for the physical aspect of the battle in recent weeks.
Does anyone see how he drills his cross field passes, almost like powerful shots with dead accuracy.
And I'm glad Mou is starting to push the best midfielder in the world narrative. That's how you see the best talked about by their managers.
Your Iniesta, Xavi etc had their coaches push such narratives along with their performances. Excellent performances aren't always enough, you need the narrative to be pushed.
Pogba is a world class player good enough that such narrative about him being the best midfielder in the world won't sound silly but could be made a case about.

He was a leader today.
You had me fooled for just a second!
My MOTM, absolutely immense.
Immature performance.
Reading through the Pogba transfer thread and the constant moans about how the money could be used to buy 3 or 4 players instead.
Buying quality players gives you quality perfomances.Absolute shocker that!
How many fecking times has he hit the woodwork this season?
At least 3 on top of my head: last minute header against Stoke, freekick against Spurs, really good strike today. I'm sure I've missed a few more.
Yeah, noticed that too. He was the one pushing his teammates on. Great to see.
The elephant is growing and growing.
Against Watford as well.
Great performance today. Was absolutely immense. Loved all aspects of his game today.
Against City too in the cup.
Future captain of the club!
And into dangerous areas. Not the safe ones that Rooney used to do there which would leave the person still to take a person on. These ones are in behind and weighted to perfection. And he seems to do this a lot.
Make him captian.
At times today he reminded me of Zidane in his prime, and to think he's not even 24 yet. Unbelievable.
He's being sarcastic,"immature" is an ongoing joke about Pogba. Not sure where it started.
Waste of money
I'm absolutely in love with Pogba in our midfield. He's dangerous for the whole 90 and is a proper leader on the pitch. Constantly trying to raise our players energy levels. And his balls over the top are amazing. I'm in constant awe of how good they are, consistently so too. At 23, he will prove his worth hopefully. Our team should be built around him, hes in his best position.
On form alone, I would say top two. 1. Modric 2. Pogba.
If Pogba develops right, he'll be a far better player than Modric is. That's why we paid the money we did.
to compare him to this recent PL generation of top midfielders i think he's like Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard all put in one human being.
He almost has what the other guy was missing from these three. It's scary to think he's only 23.
God bless you son!!

Pogba defiantly has benefited from Jose Mourinho now playing 433, getting carrick and herrera playing alongside him giving him the freedom to roam, now he has 2 brains in the team who offer a veriaty of different things. carrick anchoring the team, herrera ability to stick of his CM position, while controlling and pressing teams while offering crisp passing and hold up play of the ball, he's like a more mobile attacking version of carrick. We saw Pogba thrive on this system during his time at Juventus, now he has the freedom to attack teams knowing he has carrick anchoring, herrera controlling the middle of the park, and he has guys like Miki and Zlaten to aim at making Pogba's game allot more complete the team is more balanced
His quality was never in doubt for me but I'm liking the leadsership he's showing on the pitch, he's used to winning and is bringing that to this team.
I think the second one is being sarcastic given it used to be something Pogba detectors would randomly throw around to criticise him.
Excellent again today. Nothing more to be said.. just keep going Pog, prove the haters wrong.
He was immense today, MOTM in my book.
He's doing pretty much everything and to think he'll only get better…

They don't rate him because he's a united player, simple as that.
If he was still at Juve people would call him world class but because he's at united he's overrated. I don't care hwhat people say though he's our player we know he's world class and will only get better.
He really is making the negative oppos look daft.
Well in Pog.
Well in Pog.
Someone need to gif of his pass to Valencia right at the start of the second half. It was Paul Scholes-like
So true
What a player. Fecking Florentino 
Monster

Am it was a dig at some poster who called him immature on here recently. He's absolutely brilliant.
5 goals and 4 assists halfway through the season. Bossing midfield in almost every game we play. I think he's worth the money, guys.
Expect him to really kick on in the second half of the season and end in double digits for both goals and assists.

Definitely our best player out there today, unlucky not to get on the scoresheet again too.
