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.
