Pogba: United Are Chasing City

Manchester United resume their faint Premier League title challenge tonight as they host Stoke City at Old Trafford at 20:00 GMT.

Pogba also missed the defeat to Manchester City last month due to a red card suspension.

The Frenchman was instrumental in the Red Devils’ latest victory over the Potters on Monday.

It appears we are now finally seeing the best of Pogba in the Premier League – and with clips like these to feast our eyes on, long may it continue. Mourinho’s men sit second in the league with 47 points from 22 games.

Stoke City fans took to Twitter to praise Bauer for his performance, with a number of direct runs and a degree of pace two stand-out traits of his game. They are sitting in 18th, with one point less than the first team above the relegation zone (Southampton with 21 points). Appointed earlier in the day to replace the sacked Mark Hughes, the new manager saw the Potters concede three more league goals to take their tally for the season to 50, more than any other side in Europe’s “big five’ divisions”.

He is now on 10 Premier League assists this season while playing only 13 matches. “We’re just looking to the future and the next games“. “If we can get a couple of results soon we can shoot up the table.” . But a win here on Monday night is an absolute. Yet it is no doubt one that Stoke City will relish coming off the loss of their manager.

Eric Bailly (ankle) Antonio Valencia (hamstring) and Ashley Young (suspended) are all still unavailable in defence with Zlatan Ibrahimovic (knee) and Michael Carrick (illness) both still struggling to regain full fitness. Erik Pieters and Bruno Martins Indi are available after being sidelined through injury. Pogba was deservingly awarded as the man of the match for his scintillating display in the home outing.

Goals came Antonio Valencia, Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku, to claim their 15th league win of the season. Martial picked out Lukaku with a lobbed pass forward into the box. That’s as many as his last 4 seasons (103 appearances) combined.

Manchester United have been out of the prime form they displayed in the first half of this campaign, having secured only one point each from the clashes with Leicester, Southampton and Burnley.
