Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hails ‘outstanding’ Paul Pogba on talkSPORT after Manchester United star’s masterclass against Bournemouth
Paul Pogba played virtually the perfect game in Manchester United’s4-1 victory over Bournemouth, according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.The Frenchman illuminated Old Trafford with a midfield masterclass on Sunday,scoring his second consecutive brace as Uniteds resurgence under their caretaker boss continued.Pogba appears totally transformed and free to express himself following Jose Mourinhos departure he now has four goals and three assists in Solskjaers opening three games.And in his managers eyes, his display against Bournemouth was close to perfection.3

Pogba was in unstoppable form

We have conversations every day talking about his strengths, what he can improve on, and how I want him to play, Solskjaer told talkSPORT.He wasnt far off playing the perfect game today.Its not about scoring goals. When youve got the skills of Paul, you know that.3

Solskjaer was full of praise for his midfield star

But the way hes working for the team, his tackling, he plays it simple, just touch-pass, touch-pass.There wasnt anything for show. Its just great game management.Solskjaer has thrown the shackles off Uniteds talented front-line and another man to benefit is Marcus Rashford.The England international started through the middle and created Pogbas opening strike with a dazzling piece of skill, before getting the goal his performance deserved just before half-time. He was replaced by Romelu Lukaku, who announced his return by rounding off the scoring within moments of coming on, and Solskjaer highlighted the work ethic of both strikers.As strikers you always want to score goals and that gives you confidence.We know theyre going to score goals, but when you get the work rate of Marcus, then Romelu comes on and drops back to help defensively then you know youve got a team coming.Were building a team spirit here and I have to say its been fantastic.”3

Rashford was outstanding for Man United against Bournemouth

On Rashford, Solskjaer added:“I’m delighted for him because he’s coming on and he’ll be a top, top player.“The way he’s gone about this job, playing up top, the work rate he puts in…He’s got everything.“I’m really pleased that he’ll get goals. He’s scored two now in three games, but his work rate, all the work he puts in, that’s a big pleasing thing for me – with the whole team, because we should never be outworked by anyone. And he’s the catalyst. I’ll have to slow him down at times.“And the way he made the first goal as well – hold up play, skills, vision to put it in the right area.”
