The 6 Men who are the backbone of Solskjaer's Manchester United

#2 Paul Pogba

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United - Premier League

Pogba has been reborn under Solskjaer, who has allowed the midfielder to play a brand of football he likes. He has been pushed forward in the team and has been asked to do his defending mostly in the opposition half. Because of the way that Solskjaer has set up the midfield, Pogba no longer has to bear all the burdens of creating chances in the team and is allowed to play without too much pressure, a situation that has worked well for the player and his team.

The Frenchman has been in the form of his life of late and has already scored 10 goals from 26 games in all competitions. Since the retirement of the legendary Paul Scholes, Manchester United have always missed a goalscoring midfielder and the Frenchman is exhibiting all the attributes to suggest that he could fill that gap.

But Pogba has not just scored, he has created some fabulous goals as well. He has already picked up 8 assists for United this season and his passing and vision have been a treat to the eye. He is Solskjaer's main creative outlet and is already looking like the most threatening midfielder in the league.
