Paul Pogba returned to the starting line-up for Manchester United on Saturday and he also returned to the scoresheet in the second half.

Not content with laying on the equaliser for Anthony Martial, Pogba went one better after the break, scoring to extend United's lead, though in truth, the goal owed a lot to his team-mates.

Romelu Lukaku was sent racing away down the right and he cut back onto his left foot and crossed to the back post.

Marcus Rashford was there waiting, but the England international unselfishly opted to head the ball back across goal, allowing Pogba to tap home from close range.
