Impact of Solskjaer at Man United shown in impressive Paul Pogba stat

Manchester United 4 Bournemouth 1

Manchester United took on Bournemouth as they looked to continue their winning ways under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Since Jose Mourinho left and Solskjaer took over Man United have looked a completely different side.

United began life under their new boss by smashing Cardiff 5-1 and would then host Huddersfield and win 3-1.

Man United’s latest challenge saw them face a tougher test in Bournemouth.

Despite a step up in opponents United still looked quality on Sunday.

Paul Pogba would open the scoring for United inside five minutes.

The Frenchman would then get his second of the game in the 33rd minute before Martial added a third just before the break.

Nathan Ake would pull one back for the Cherries in first-half injury time. But Romelu Lukaku would come off the bench to make it 4-1 and put the game to bed in the 72nd minute.

Paul Pogba reborn under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Perhaps the biggest takeaway from United’s win vs Bournemouth is Pogba’s rebirth under Solskjaer.

Since joining United from Juventus Pogba has not really impressed.

One of the reasons for this was perhaps due to Mourinho’s more defensive style, which did not allow Pogba the freedom he enjoyed at Juve.

However, under Solskjaer, Pogba is epitomising United’s transformation.

In Solskjaer’s first game in charge, Pogba would bag two assists.

The midfielder would then score a brace vs Huddersfield and then two more vs Bournemouth.

This means that Pogba has scored more goals in three games under Solskjaer than he did under Mourinho in 17 games this season.

United have also scored 27.5% of their league goals under Solskjaer despite him only being in charge for three games.
