Yaya Toure backs Paul Pogba to improve in attacking role after being freed from Mourinho's shackles

Yaya Toure has backed Paul Pogba to thrive under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United now that he is playing to his strengths under the Norwegian.

The Frenchman played a sublime ball to put Marcus Rashford in to score the winning goal against Tottenham on Sunday and has be praised for his turnaround in form since Jose Mourinho's departure.

Pogba was often criticised for the defensive side of his game under Mourinho but Toure believes he needs to play to his strengths – very much like how the Ivorian did at Manchester City.
