Newcastle United v Manchester United - Premier League
The Frenchman is the most important player at Manchester United right now and marked the start of Solskjaer's reign with a return to form. He set up 2 goals in the game against Cardiff City and then scored a brace in the next two games, against Huddersfield and Bournemouth. Against Newcastle, Paul Pogba looked a little tired, which is why after more than a week's rest, he should be raring to go against Tottenham.

Solskjaer's first act after taking over at Old Trafford had been reinstating Paul Pogba into his team. The Norwegian has also granted Pogba a license to roam and play his natural game, and has given him all the freedom in the world. A little trust from his manager has done wonders for the Frenchman now, as he finally looks like a World Class player again. Having the security of Herrera and Matic alongside him has given him wings.

Pogba's abilities on the ball are second to none, while his hold up play and awareness has improved significantly. The Frenchman has also been excellent with his late runs into the box and has taken the game to the opposition in a welcome change. Against Tottenham, Solskjaer will rely on Pogba's vision and creativity to unlock the opposition defense. He is, after all, the Norwegian's main man.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over seven 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.
