The best Pogba returns making history at Manchester United

Paul Pogba came from showing his best level with the French team in the Eurocup. But as France fell earlier than expected in the national team tournament, the Manchester United player has decided to extend his graceful state in the Premier League. The 5-1 victory of the Red devils Against Leeds United on the first day of the league championship he featured Bruno Fernandes, who scored a hat-trick (the first since arriving in Manchester), but also the French midfielder, who has made history with the Manchester United jersey : Paul Pogba has become the first footballer in the history of the Old Trafford team to dispense four assists in a single match..

History of the Red devils, and also English football. Pogba’s four goal passes against Marcelo Bielsa’s team also add him to a select club of players who did the same in the Premier League. Only Dennis Bergkamp (1999), José Antonio Reyes (2006), Cesc Fàbregas (2009), Emmanuel Adebayor (2012), Santi Cazorla (2013) and Harry Kane (2020) had achieved four assists in the same English league game, so now there will be seven with Paul Pogba. The French midfielder, the first Frenchman to achieve this feat, picks up the witness of the English forward of Tottenham, who gave four passes on goal against Southampton on the second day of the Premier League last year.

And it is that Pogba, in just one Premier League match, has managed to exceed the number of assists he gave last season. Although the French midfielder finished the 2020/2021 season with six goals in all competitions, only three were in the league championship. The 2017/2018, the second season since returning to Manchester in 2016, still the season with the best statistics as far as goal passes are concerned, since in 37 games he achieved 12 assists. Now, after a spectacular start to what could be his final season at Manchester United, Pogba has a third of the job done.
