Paul Pogba is the focal point at Manchester United
Every team needs a focal point, a pillar that the team is built around. Paul Pogba is that all important player for Manchester United. He was brought to revive United's fortunes; he was the marquee player, the prodigal son whose return was supposed to reignite Old Trafford. Sadly, that revival never occurred under Mourinho for various reasons.

Solskjaer had repeatedly expressed his desire to build a team around Pogba because he understands what an exceptional talent the Frenchman is. The biggest conclusion from the first two games is that Pogba is the main ingredient of the Norwegian's dream recipe to reinstate Manchester United's authority.
Solskjaer has set his team up around Pogba so far and has included just the right men who will help the French midfielder flourish. He has added marauding full-backs, a runner in the midfield and creative players up front. This has enabled Pogba to assert his influence on the game and all of them have combined well with the Frenchman.
As the team begins to gel together, Pogba will get even better and he will continue to drive United forward.

Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written more than 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 20 million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
