Paul Pogba has expressed his delight on being adjudged December’s player of the month.
The midfielder was under fire for not living up to the expectation but his brilliant performance against Huddersfield Town and Bournemouth earned plaudits as the 25 year old scored two apiece in each of the games alongside setting up another.
His extraordinary display was pretty pivotal to United’s recent revival and the French midfielder would be hoping to continue his creativity for the rest of the season.
Pogba’s broken relationship with former manager Jose Mourinho hogged the limelight for the wrong reasons but now the manager is gone the midfielder has managed to break the shackles and perform for the betterment of the club.
Pogba said, “Obviously it’s good.
“The month before that [November] I wasn’t playing a lot so just being back on the pitch, playing and enjoying with the guys is good. It’s always good for me and I enjoy playing football and being with the guys.”
“We’re Manchester United so that [winning] should be a basic thing for us.
“Obviously we know that the Premier League is hard and we have a lot of games [to play] but those five games give us more confidence. Mentally we’re strong and ready. For the rest of the season, we just want to do the same and carry on like that.”
