Solskjaer worked with Pogba when he managed United’s reserves and was asked about the smile that had been seen on the player’s face. “That’s the Paul I know, the Paul I have known since he was in the reserves and in the youth team,” he said.“He’s always been a happy boy, he’s always had a big smile on his face and when you score a goal, or if you score two, of course you’re happy. And when you play football for Manchester United you should be happy.2

“Of course it’s a responsibility but it’s an honour and a privilege.“Paul loves playing for this club. He’s a Man United boy through and through. He’s a kid that knows what it means to play for Man United.”He added: “I’m spending time with the players of course, and trying to get as much time with each individual as possible.“Paul is one that’s really enjoyed… Last time (against Cardiff) he creates two or three goals, this time he scores two himself. I think he’s enjoyed this today.”

After Nemanja Matic put United 1-0 up in the 28th minute, Pogba struck twice in the second half before Mathias Jorgensen’s late consolation for the visitors.Solskjaer said: “You don’t in one week change anything, but you change the mindset.“I want my team to play in a certain way and you give them little pointers here and there, and it’s a work in progress. “It’s going to take time for the players to go from one manager and the details he wanted. I’ve got a little bit of a tweak.“We’ll improve as time goes on and I was just thinking, and I said to the staff as well towards the end, when you go 2-0 up, maybe 3-0 up, and you think ‘next week we’ll have [Alexis] Sanchez, [Anthony] Martial back, you’ve got [Romelu] Lukaku to put on’. Because I think maybe we could have really finished them off then.”
