Following a poor display against West Brom on Sunday, Paul Pogba put his fancy flicks and haircuts to one side to produce a solid display against Bournemouth.

The 24-year-old was named a man of the match as he helped Manchester United claim all three points at the Vitality Stadium.


Pogba also set up Romelu Lukaku's goal to grab his 11th assist of the season.

The Frenchman has struggled for consistency this season and has had an unsteady relationship with boss Jose Mourinho.
