Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's trust was exactly what Paul Pogba needed to have
All the best players in the world reached the peak of their abilities because there was someone to believe in them. Most often, it is the manager of the team, who notices a talent and guides the players to reach their potential.

In Pogba's case, his differences with Mourinho were for all to see right from the first season. As a result, this had greatly affected the Frenchman's developments. With Solskjaer's appointment, it was clear that all he needed was a little trust, a pat on the back and maybe even a hug.
Pogba looks inspired under his new manager and all credit must go to the Norwegian for successfully motivating the Frenchman to regain his best form in a very short time. It is this belief shown by Solskjaer on the midfielder that will go a long way to shape his season.

Pogba will definitely score quite a few more goals before the end of this season. His best returns so far are 10 goals and 16 assists in 49 games in all competitions for Juventus in the 2015/16 season.
As of now, the Frenchman has 7 goals and 6 assists from 22 games in all competitions this season. Under Solskjaer's guidance, Pogba could very well go on to have his best season ever by the end of this campaign.
