Paul Pogba blessed Manchester United with a powerful performance in the Red Devils’ 3-0 UEFA Champions League win at Young Boys on Wednesday, and it was impossible not to notice his class.

Jose Mourinho did, as did several of his teammates on a night the French midfielder scored twice and assisted United’s other goal.
“Solid, class and gave the team the pace we needed at times,” said Manchester United’s manager. “He controlled the tempo and of course it was a very good goal.”
Pogba again captained the side, which has won three-straight and allowed just one goal in wins over Burnley and Watford in addition to Wednesday’s win.
Luke Shaw drew a penalty that Pogba converted for the match’s second game, and loved what he saw from his captain. From the BBC:
Mourinho’s praise carries a bit more weight considering he didn’t quite enjoy the competition.
“Job done,” he said. “Not phenomenal but good enough. (Young Boys) were intense, compact and had self esteem.”
