Pogba’s ‘RM469 million pass’

LONDON: Paul Pogba has received his fair share of criticism this season but there was nothing but praise for the Frenchman on social media following his brilliant assist in Sunday’s victory over Tottenham.

The midfielder produced an inch-perfect lofted through ball from inside his own half to put Marcus Rashford in on goal for the only goal of the game shortly before half-time.

The Englishman found the net with an ice cool finish but it was Pogba who the majority of the team ran over to celebrate with.

And fans watching the game were clearly impressed by his moment of magic with thousands taking to Twitter to applaud him.

“Now that was an £89million (RM469 million) pass,” wrote one while another joked that the goal had made him pregnant.

Others took a different approach, questioning how the likes of Jose Mourinho and Graeme Souness would have felt watching the moment of quality.

Pogba has been reinvigorated since the departure of Mourinho,

Sunday’s assist his eighth direct involvement in a goal in five games.

No United player has been involved in more Premier League goals since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge.
