Paul Pogba can drive Manchester United towards the Premier League title, says former defender Denis Irwin

Paul Pogba will be the X-factor in Manchester United's challenge for this season's Premier League title, former defender Denis Irwin has predicted.

The 51-year-old expects Pogba to be the driving force in a United team which he says has been improved by manager Jose Mourinho's summer signings.

And he believes striker Marcus Rashford will score more goals following last season's 'over-reliance' on Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
