As always, Paul Pogba was given full freedom in Solskjaer's eleven and the Frenchman responded in emphatic style. Pogba kept running and showed great attitude right from the start of the game. He fought for the ball and helped his team grind out the first 10 minutes. And when the time was right, he gave United the perfect start.

As Herrera won back the ball and passed it to Martial, Pogba managed to stay on side. He was found by his countryman and Pogba showed his impeccable finishing abilities next, scoring from an acute angle to give United the lead and easing the pressure off this team. As soon as Pogba scored, Fulham lost a bit of their teeth.

But Pogba did not slow down, neither did he stop. He kept pushing and he kept trying to break the home side down. And in the 65th minute, he was granted a chance to put the game to bed. When Mata was brought down in the box, United were awarded a penalty. Up stepped the Frenchman and put the final nail in Fulham's coffin.

Solskjaer's trust in his midfield maestro was what helped United win three vital away points.
