League of his own

Paul Pogba's renaissance at Manchester United continues apace - the midfield maestro's two goals against Fulham on Saturday making him the most productive player in the 'Top 5' UEFA leagues since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge of the Red Devils. 

Sidelined and criticised under José Mourinho, Pogba has been born again under the stewardship of United legend Solskjaer. The French World Cup winner is not alone, his Norwegian manager - currently in situ until the end of the season - overseeing a dramatic U-turn in United's fortunes since his first game in charge, a 5-1 win at former club Cardiff on 22 December. 

Claudio Ranieri's Fulham were the latest to fall to United's sword, Pogba's double either side of half-time complemented by an outstanding solo effort from compatriot Anthony Martial in the Red Devil's comprehensive 3-0 win at Craven Cottage. 

The turnaround in Pogba's form is certainly remarkable, the former Juventus man now with 8 goals and 5 assists to his name in the Premier League since Mourinho's demise. This level of productivity is unmatched across Europe over this time: even red-hot forwards such as Manchester City's Sergio Aguero (9 goals and 2 assists) and Atlanta's Duván Zapata (10 goals and 1 assist) unable to keep up with the bounding Frenchman. 

United, Solskjaer and Pogba have hit their stride at the right time, their ascent to 4th in the English top flight - on the back of 10 wins and a draw in all competitions - setting them up nicely for their biggest game to date under new talisman Solskjaer: Tuesday night's Champions League home fixture against PSG.
