Pogba starting to win over critics

If anyone had any doubts, Manchester United had a very serious match against the reigning champions and confirmed themselves as in the running for the most open Premier League in years.

The Red Devils kept top spot at Anfield, although they could lose first place if Manchester City, two points behind, win their game in hand.

Paul Pogba has been largely to blame for the reaction of the Old Trafford side. Dozens of times criticised, the Frenchman has shown his commitment and even usual critics such as Gary Neville have changed their opinion on him.

His goal was key to beat Burnley 1-0 and that was only one of the 5 consecutive matches that the French international has played in full. At the same time, Solskjaer has substituted before him, even controversially, Bruno Fernandes, someone who seemed untouchable.

"He’s looking like he’s simplified his game and showing more discipline", Neville said ahead of the match at Anfield on 'Sky Sports'. He had another solid performance in the match.

The Frenchman, who seemed more out than in at Manchester United with the arrival of Donny van de Beek, is returning to be the player that Europe fell in love with.
