3 reasons why Manchester United beat Young Boys 3-0

#1 The class of Paul Pogba

What will be most reassuring for Manchester United fans right now will be the fact that Pogba is doing what Mourinho is asking him to do and he has been excelling at it. He did it against Burnley at Turf Moore and did a repeat at Vicarage Road in the Premier League. Against Young Boys, he was indomitable. 2 goals. 1 assist. 50 of 54 passes completed at a rate of 93% success rate. 3 chances created.

Paul Pogba is the kind of player that demonstrates what sets a team like Manchester United apart when compared to their hosts last night. His intelligent passing and movement gave United their first goal of the night and what a belter it was!

He kept his composure and scored from the spot shortly after. It's quite a sight watching Pogba galloping into the final third with options around him because you know something good is in the offing. So when Lukaku and Rashford dragged the defenders to one side, Pogba found Martial on the other and helped United seal the deal with a masterful assist.

Pogba has been consistent so far this season and if he can keep this up, United will have fewer things to worry about as the season gathers momentum.
