Manchester United's Paul Pogba: Breaks duck in victory

Pogba scored a goal on two shots (two on target) in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Leicester City.

Analysis:

Some £90 million later and five agonizing matches this season, Pogba finally broke duck for United. Never much of a goal scorer for Juventus while playing in a deeper lying role, he still scored 34 goals in 178 appearances; however, the 23-year-old Frenchman has looked lost for long stretches in Manchester. Not Saturday however, as Pogba bossed the midfield, playing box-to-box and controlling the passage of play. Paired with Ander Herrera instead of Marouane Fellaini or Wayne Rooney, Pogba finally looked not just comfortable, but like the world-class player he is.
