Fantastic - this is what we paid for, I assume? Best half for us?

I can't think of many other footballers who are so difficult to get the ball off when it's at their feet
Hope his goal gives him good confidence to kick on and dominate games.
Almost as if he's stepped out of some shadow
Him and Ibra, I think. After the first goal they both puffed their chests out and decided they were going to stamp some authority on the game - it was palpable. Neither of them lack the arrogance to do so with Rooney on the pitch but it's natural to defer to the captain on some level.
Happy he got a goal as I had a feeling it may have become a bit of an issue that he hadn't scored.
I was going to predict he'd score his first goal today but the match was kicking off so I didn't have time. Now I've lost the chance to look smug at my own correct prediction.
About time he repayed my faith in fantasy football.
Yes, absolutely. Hopefully the second half is even better in that regard
Talk about stepping up - beast mode in the first half!!!
Is there anyone better in world football when he plays like this? as a central midfielder of course. Truly unstoppable.
Welcome back
Welcome to Manchester United Paul
He was superb. Stamped his authority on the game and ran the show along with Mata.
Did he play with Drinkwater and Simpson in the youth team? He was talking to them like old mates. He's 3 years younger than the former and 6 years than the latter.
Faded a bit after Huth reverted to his usual ale-house clogger type and clattered his ankle but he was grand today. Ran things first half.
Looked much more like the performance he had against Southampton. Herrera's a very good partner for him I feel.
I have been saying that once he cut out his dribbling for the sake of it and actually passed the ball since he had the passing range, he would be great.
That's what he did today.
That's what he did today.
Brilliant today. Complete performance from him and you see how big of a difference it makes having the right players around him
With some real dynamism in there alongside him Pogba had the freedom to show his stuff. Quality.
He already looks much better next to Herrera. We do lack a player in the mould of Drinkwater though, a proper ballwinner in midfield. Would have been perfect if we would have signed Kante. Next summer hopefully we'll be looking to bring in another defensive midfielder unless Schneiderlin steps it up very soon. In the big games we should be looking to play like this though
--------Herrera-------Carrick/Fellaini/Schneiderlin (Whoever is in better form)
-----------------Pogba-----------

Cantona-esque celebration.
I definitely remember he playing alongside Drinkwater once.
This is what the most expensive player in the world brings to the table. Stunning performance.
Why not change the pic of Pogba 
, it makes him look like a psycho with that smile
, it makes him look like a psycho with that smileYes.
A god among men today.
Huge step in the right direction today.
Much better from him today. He didn't force it, kept it simple, when a more difficult pass was on he executed it. He's comfortable under pressure. Need more of these types of performances. He has a tendency to go ahead of the ball when he makes the initial pass through the lines, I would like him to time that a bit better because when the person he passes to loses it we can be susceptible and Leicester got in some promising positions before we scored.
Leicester got their share of PP vitamin today!
Great to watch today and looked so focused, his vision and passing in the final 3rd was a thing of beauty, him, Ibra and Rashford seemed to be getting a decent understanding.
He had options today, so he passed the ball, simple as that. If the team moves quickly and intelligently off the ball, he'll shine. If he gets isolated, he'll try too much on his own, but that's only partly his fault.
Today's game showed that he indeed needs a certain environment and support from his teammates to excel. And that's absolutely no shame, because it's true for basically every player (especially CMs).
Preferred this;
When did they do that?
Yeah I didn't see that either.
It's like a Chris Rock impersonation.Why not change the pic of Pogba
Probably one of his bigger critics on here but I thought he played well and created a few opportunities playing cleverly over the top to Ibra.
Critics crawled back into their holes for the time being it seems.
Preferred this;
When did this happen?
