Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba played a key role in both goals as the Red Devils came out 2-1 winners against Aston Villa last night.
The Frenchman flicked the ball over his head before passing to Marcus Rashford in the build-up to Anthony Martial’s opener, while he won the penalty that Bruno Fernandes slotted away to put the home side back ahead in the second half.
Pogba’s form has improved markedly in recent weeks and supporters on Twitter singled out the 27-year-old for praise after helping his side seal the win at Old Trafford yesterday evening. Some are even hoping the player signs a new contract:

That is why I’m extra critical of the man because I know this is what his level should be.

Whether it is a coincidence or not, Pogba has sprung into life since his agent, Mino Raiola, made it known that the France international wants to leave the club.
The midfielder has started to make key contributions in games once again and he will be a pivotal player if United are to sustain a title challenge this season.
