Mourinho praises 'fantastic' Pogba

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho praised "fantastic" midfielder Paul Pogba after the world's most expensive player made his first start in the 2-0 win over Southampton.

The £89m signing from Juventus played the full 90 minutes, 1,616 days after his previous appearance for the club.

He had more passes (71), touches (103), shots (4) and won more duels (20) than any other United player.

Mourinho said the France international had "such an ego, such a personality".

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored both goals for United, to take his record to three Premier League goals in two games.
