Solskjaer and Pogba’s Interesting Statistic After 3-1 Victory Against Huddersfield

DBasia.news – The 3-1 victory of Manchester United against Huddersfield Town on the 19th-week of Premier League, Wednesday (26/12) continued the positive trend of The Red Devils.

Nemanja Matic scored one goal and Paul Pogba scored the two others. Just in two matches, Man United scored 8 goals in two Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first matches after replacing Jose Mourinho.

The manager shifting gives a new ambiance in the dressing room that seemed to be negative. Just see how Pogba scored the brilliant statistic, after what Mourinho said (reported by Guardian) that he is a virus.

There are no other players involved in Man United direct goals this season except Pogba, who contributed 10 goals for the club (5 goals and 5 assists). Four of them happened under Solskjaer’s leadership.

The 2018 World Cup champion with France national team deserved the man of the match title with 117 touches, 5 chances, 4 goals, and 86 successful passings.

That’s what Old Trafford public expects from a player worth £89M. Solskjaer is delighted with Pogba’s 5-star performance.

“That’s the Paul I know and have known since he was in the reserves and youth team here,” Solskjaer said cited by BBC Sport.

“He’s always been a happy boy with a big smile on his face and when you score two goals you’re happy and should be. It’s a privilege and a responsibility playing for Manchester United and Paul loves playing for this club. He’s Manchester United boy through and through and knows what it means to play for Manchester United.”

When Pogba performed really great, Solskjaer also makes a record like the legendary manager Sir Matt Busby, by his two consecutive victories during the debut.

Solskjaer and Matt Busby are also equal to TJ Walworth, Daves Sexton, and Mourinho. But, the Norway manager has a special record compared to them all: Solskjaer is Man United’s first manager who saw the team scored more than three goals in two initial matches of Premier League.

By this result, Man United are 8 points higher than Chelsea in the race of Champions League zone and 6 points behind Arsenal.

In the two upcoming matches, Man United would play against Bournemouth (30/12) and Newcastle United (3/1) in the Premier League.
