LONDON -- Sir Alex Ferguson often used to suggest that Manchester United like "doing things the hard way," but this incarnation are taking things more literally than surely even Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would like.
United returned to the top of the Premier League on Wednesday with a 2-1 win at Fulham in which they were required to come from behind yet again and beholden to a moment of magic from Paul Pogba for the second midweek in succession. It takes the number of points United have won from losing positions this season to a staggering 21, more than half their total of 40.
