Man United's lucky charm Pogba equals Premier League record

Paul Pogba was on target for Manchester United as they started their Premier League campaign on the right foot, and he wrote a little bit of history in the process.

The France international is still on a high after playing a leading role in his nation's World Cup win in Russia earlier this summer.

And he showed no signs of tiredness after those heroics as he got United rolling in the 2018-19 season.

Pogba converted a penalty past Kasper Schmeichel just two minutes into Friday's clash against Leicester City.

United finally killed off the clash late in the game, when Luke Shaw sealed a 2-1 victory in a potentially tricky encounter to begin the season with three points.
