'The shackles are off': Pogba double continues Man Utd's post-Mourinho resurgence
Paul Pogba scored twice as Manchester United defeated Huddersfield Town, meaning he has tallied more goals and assists in Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's two-game tenure at Old Trafford than he managed all season under Jose Mourinho.
The good times appear to be back at Old Trafford, as temporary boss Ole Gunnar Solksjaer made it two wins from two as his Manchester United side dissected Huddersfield Town at Old Trafford.
Pogba, so often a controversial figure during Jose Mourinho's tempestuous reign, scored twice as his side earned a 3-1 win against David Wagner's side - meaning that Pogba has now been involved in 10 goals for Manchester United this season, four of which have come under the new regime.
The French midfielder appeared imperious throughout and looked every inch the player that United shelled out a then-world record transfer fee for two summers ago.
While the upturn in form under Solksjaer is heartening to fans of Manchester United, it is worth noting that his first two fixtures have comes against sides mired in their own relegation dogfights.
Nonetheless, social media is abuzz with reactions to Pogba's man of the match performance.
