Paul Pogba has enjoyed a flying start to the new campaign for Manchester United, with brilliant performances in the initial few games of the season. According to stats from the Premier League’s official website, the Frenchman has already provided five assists in just three games in the Premier League, which includes four assists against Leeds United on the first matchday,
Interestingly, that means that he has already provided more assists in the Premier League this season than he has in three of his past five seasons with the Red Devils.
Pogba is one of those players whose future at Old Trafford remains uncertain at the moment. With less than a year left on his contract, the midfielder could very well be on his way out of the club in the future.
However, he does seem to enjoy a good relationship with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. As reported by Tribuna, Pogba told TV 2 Sporten:
"“I have known Ole for a long time and we have always had a good relationship, and he is good with all the other players as well.“He was here as a player, so he knows the club very well. It has been very good since he came in.“His strength is perhaps that he understands the players, because he has been a player himself. He understands when we may need rest and he knows how to talk to the players. I think that’s his strength.”"

Pogba is a huge part of this Manchester United team
Solskjaer has been the manager of Manchester United for more than two-and-a-half years now, as he took the role back in 2018 following the departure of Jose Mourinho.
Although, the club has made progress during his time as the manager, Solskjaer has failed to guide the team to a title till now. They came very close last season but ultimately lost the Europa League final on penalties against Villarreal.
The Red Devils have now gone four seasons without a single trophy. Thus, Solskjaer will have to bring an end to that streak as soon as possible. There are a lot of expectations that this could be the season that that finally happens with the signings that the club have made this summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Tom Heaton have been added to an already strong Manchester United squad. Now, it is up to the team to bring some silverware to Old Trafford this season. If that does happen, Pogba would be expected to have played a big part.
