Huddersfield Town 1-1 Manchester United: 5 men who cost United the game

#2 Paul Pogba

Huddersfield Town v Manchester United - Premier League

To say that Paul Pogba has been totally ineffective would not be entirely true, as Pogba did hit the crossbar twice in the game. The Frenchman was perhaps out of luck, because he could easily have ended the game with the two goals and would have been labelled the man of the match. Unfortunately, that was not to be. On the other hand, besides hitting the frame of the goal, there was little that Pogba did on the field.

The Frenchman was not his usual creative self and failed to impress from the midfield. With Mata playing as the No. 10, Pogba was expected to pull the strings from a deeper position and also make late runs into the box.

Unfortunately, the Frenchman looked a shadow of his usual self and appeared lost at times. The home team did not put him under too much pressure, but he still failed to find those passes or make those late runs. United looked poorer without their talisman dictating the play and ultimately lost valuable points on the road.

Against Huddersfield, United needed Pogba to provide inspiration and see them through. Unfortunately the Frenchman failed to impress, again, and cost United the game.
