Rashford, Pogba Star In Easy Win by Babanews(m): 2:07am On Dec 31, 2018
Pogba looking a different player

Pogba has been transformed since Mourinho departed United. His talent was never in doubt, but once again he appears to be making every attempt to control the midfield, something he rarely seemed capable of before the change in manager. On Sunday, he was everywhere, always looking to be demanding possession. Whatever Solskjaer has said to him, it appears to have done the trick.

Rashford the inspiration

Pogba certainly deserves praise for his performance, but Rashford was the best player on the pitch. Not only did he lead the line effectively, he was a constant threat when drifting out wide as well, as shown by his sublime assist for the opening goal.

Key Opta Facts

- Manchester United have recorded three consecutive Premier League victories for the first time since a run of five in April.

- After losing their first league clash with Bournemouth in December 2015, the Red Devils are unbeaten in each of the last seven Premier League games against them (W6 D1).

- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is only the third United manager to win his first three league games in charge of the club, after Matt Busby and Jose Mourinho.

- Marcus Rashford has provided six assists in 17 Premier League appearances this season; as many as in his previous two seasons combined (77 apps).

- Paul Pogba has scored four goals in his three Premier League appearances under Solskjaer, as many as he had in his previous 20 under Mourinho.

- With four goals and three assists, December 2018 has been Pogba's best month for goal involvements in his top-flight career.
