#3 Pogba and Carrick are the perfect partners in midfield
An interesting statistic : United have not lost any of the 8 games Michael Carrick has featured in so far this season. They have won 7 of them and drawn just the one. Before the game, one doubted whether the veteran would start, given he had made appeared against Arsenal on Saturday.
However, Jose Mourinho started off the English international yesterday night as well, and he showed his class once again. In the first half, he couldn’t influence the game that much but he came on his own in the second, providing Pogba the necessary license to go on marauding runs upfront.
However, at 35 years of age, the former Spurs man needs to be used carefully and sparingly, and that could turn out to be the Portuguese manager’s biggest challenge. Morgan Schneiderlin, anyone?
