Onderwerpe: Paul Pogba, Manchester United, Fulham, English Premier League

The Frenchman broke the deadlock in the trip to Craven Cottage before completing his brace in the second half.

Saturday brings another round in the Premier League, with Manchester United traveling to Fulham in the early kick-off. The Cottagers welcomed the Red Devils in the first game of Matchweek 26 and things quickly turned into a nightmare for the home side.

It didn't take too long for Ranieri's men to concede. Fulham found themselves behind after 14 minutes. Eight minutes later, the away side doubled their lead thanks to Anthony Martial.

The first-half, however, saw Paul Pogba reach a personal feat. The Frenchman, who was the man to break the deadlock, would complete his brace before being taken off but it was his first strike that saw him reach 10+ league goals for the first time in his career.

Never had the World Cup winner reached this feat during his time at Juventus and under Mourinho at Old Trafford. His 10th goal is more proof of a turnaround in his form under Solskjaer.

Since the Norwegian succeeded the Special One, Pogba has contributed to 12 goals, scoring seven and assisting five. The 20-time Premier League champion has now temporarily moved into the top-four and could remain there until the next round should Chelsea lose to Man City on Sunday.

Next up for Pogba and Co. is their Champions League clash with PSG. The English giant will host the French heavyweight at Old Trafford for the first leg of their round of 16 tie in what will be a huge test for the Red Devils.
