Manchester United 2-1 Everton: 5 Players who won the game for United

#2 Paul Pogba

Pogba had one of his best games so far this season

Paul Pogba has been more involved in games recently and against Everton, the Frenchman was in top form. He started alongside Fred and Matic in the middle, but it was clear that Pogba was United’s main man.

He ran the proceedings from the start of the game and quite deservedly scored from the spot after Martial won the penalty. Pogba, on the night, had a drive about himself, he pushed United forward and in the second half, it was his quick thinking that eventually helped United get a crucial goal.

When Pogba received the ball at the edge of the area in the 49th minute, the whole of Old Trafford shouted “SHOOT”, however, the Frenchman restrained himself, having already spotted Martial in a better position. Pogba rolled the ball onto his countryman, who finished emphatically. Just 8 minutes later, he unleashed a fierce shot that saved brilliantly by Pickford.

However, it was his carelessness that caused the Everton counter that ultimately led to the Sigurdsson goal.

Paul Pogba had one of his better games against Everton, had a hand in both goals and is now United’s top scorer this season so far.
