Pogba drops FOUR assists

However, Fernandes wasn't the only United midfielder who dropped a masterclass during the Leeds win because Pogba was also playing one of the games of his life with no less than four assists.

Pogba already had a creative treble to his name when he teed up Fernandes for his hat-trick, but decided that he wanted more by turning provider for Fred to score a rare Premier League goal.

It couldn't have been a more devastating demonstration of the damage that United can do when both Fernandes and Pogba are on song because Leeds were well and truly played off the park.

Whether or not that will be enough to usurp Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea this season remains to be seen, but make no mistake that United will cause teams some serious problems...
