Manchester United v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League
The Frenchman has registered 8 assists in the Premier League and 10 in all competitions from 32 games. Among the midfielders, only Christian Eriksen of Tottenham and Ryan Fraser of Bournemouth have managed more, but while the former plays mostly as an attacking midfielder, the latter is going through a loss of form of late. As such, it is hard to deny that Pogba's ability to set his teammates up is second to none in the Premier League right now.

Last season, Pogba finished with 10 assists from 27 appearances in the league, and 12 in total from 37 appearances in all competitions, so the Frenchman is yet to better his returns. However, considering the kind of form that he is in right now, Pogba appears to be going through his best season ever by May this year.
Pogba has 6 assists from 12 games ever since Solskjaer took over, and it is clear that his new found freedom has brought the best out of him. His combination with Rashford, in particular, has been a treat to the eye and both of his assists against Leicester City and Tottenham can be watched a thousand times over.

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.

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.
