Give us the same result against @Wolves on Saturday. We want our bragging rights restored to default.

A few are hoping that the 25-year-old’s performance will silence critics like Graeme Souness:
Souness will be fuming now lol

Pogba stood in for Antonio Valencia as captain and took the game by the scruff of the neck following a tepid opening half an hour by the Red Devils.
The comfortable victory gets United’s Champions League campaign off to a perfect start. They face Valencia on matchday two at the beginning of October.
Before then, they will face Wolves at home in the Premier League. After a difficult opening couple of months of the campaign, the Manchester club will be hoping to make it four wins in a row in all competitions on Saturday.
