Paul Pogba’s Significant Change Under Mourinho Vs Solskjaer

DBasia.news – Paul Pogba proved that his £89M price tag is worthy. He shows great progress in Manchester United’s performances lately.

The significant change happens under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era. Three matches under his leadership, Man United won three times and scored 12 goals, conceded 3 goals against Cardiff City (5-1), Huddersfield Town (3-1), and Bournemouth (4-1).

Solskjaer equalized the achievement record of Jose Mourinho and Sir Matt Busby as the manager who won the initial three matches in Man United. He proves that the intention to build the squad supporting Paul Pogba is indeed true.

“I think Paul’s a top, top player. He’s one of the best top, top players in the world. Attacking wise, he’s done really well, but he’s a big lad, who can win headers and tackles,”  Solskjaer said lately.

“He’s been the same as he’s always been. His attitude has been perfect and that’s the key.

“You should be tired towards the end of every single game. He’s been top class and he’s some we’re looking to build the team around, of course, but there are so many quality players,” Solskjaer added.

Comparing Pogba under Mourinho and Solskjaer is so different. It seems like the public sees two different personalities of Pogba: the nervous and fake smile vs sincere smile.

If his previous performance didn’t deserve the £89M price tag, now he proves the quality. It could be seen easily.

14 matches this season under Mourinho, Pogba scored three goals and three assists. Under Solskjaer, Pogba just played three times by scoring four times and three assists.

Solskjaer didn’t do anything big to change Man United’s performance. He just returned the identity of Man United, offensive performance and supporting Pogba.

The 2018 World Cup winner kicked five times, four on target, two goals, one assist, 99 passings with 89 percent accuracy. Pogba is also involved in 7 of 12 Man United goals under Mourinho.

“To finish the year like that is beautiful,” Pogba said after the match. Pogba is right. He returns the smile of Man United fans who didn’t favor watching the match under Mourinho.
