Manchester United 3-0 Huddersfield: Paul Pogba scores twice as hosts win

Confidence is not necessarily evident in what a person says, rather more in what they do. We can presume, therefore, that the real Paul Pogba may be about to make himself known at Manchester United.

It is only a week-and-half ago that Pogba could not get in to this team. As United succumbed at Liverpool a week gone Sunday, the Frenchman was not even summoned from the bench by Jose Mourinho.

Now Mourinho is a footnote in United's recent modest history and Pogba is back in the spotlight for the right reasons.
