Solskjaer happy with Pogba’s performance against Bournemouth
Manchester United cruised to their third consecutive win under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a 4-1 drubbing of Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday, closing the gap to three points on fifth-placed Arsenal with that victory.
Paul Pogba was on song once again and the Frenchman continued his resurgence under the new manager after scoring a brace against Huddersfield in the previous outing. Pogba scored twice in the first half and set up Romelu Lukaku’s fourth in the second half as United saw off Bournemouth’s challenge.
And Solskjaer was impressed with Pobga’s well-rounded performance.
“That today is a top, top performance for a midfielder, because it’s all-round,” Solskjaer told reporters in his post-match news conference.
“It’s work-rate, he’s dangerous in the box, he wins headers, wins tackles, and there’s no showboating. It’s touch, pass, move and he plays the efficient game.
“Paul knows he’s at his best when he plays that game and there was maybe one flick that he missed halfway through the second half that he could have done better with, but not a lot else he could have done.
“As I’ve said to all the players, we want to see the best out of them, we want to see them enjoy themselves and express themselves within the framework and how we want the team to play and all of them really performed up to the top standards.”
