United show class
ON FIRE: Pogba brace helps Devils thrash Fenerbahce
but Pogba took the ball and converted from the spot.
The hosts were handed a second penalty less than three minutes later and Martial took responsibility this time before
Pogba lashed home a third goal.
Lingard made it 4-0 three minutes after the restart and Van Persie pulled one back for the Turkish team with seven minutes remaining.
Pogba, criticised following a subdued display in United’s goalless draw at Liverpool on Monday, was handed a vote of confidence by Mourinho after scoring twice in a game for the first time in almost two years.
“He needs time,” the coach said of the midfielder he signed for £89 million (RM463 million) in the close season.
“To be in Italy for four or five years ... I was not expecting it to be a click of the fingers for intensity.”
The pressure had been mounting on Inter boss De Boer after a woeful start to the season that left them 11th in Serie A and point-less in Europe.
After successive Group K defeats, De Boer’s possession-based style had come under the microscope and they looked a struggling side as Southampton created a string of good chances.
Just as the Premier League club were cranking up the heat, however, Antonio Candreva swept the ball home in the 67th minute.
Marcelo Brozovic was sent off late in the tie but Inter managed to hold
on. Roma captain Francesco Totti made his 100th
European appearance for the club at home to Austria Vienna but his night was marred as the visitors fought back from 3-1 down to snatch a point.
Two goals from Roma’s Stephan El Shaarawy cancelled out Raphael Holzhauser’s early opener and when Totti laid on his second assist for Alessandro Florenzi to volley the ball in, the hosts looked home and dry.
