Paul Pogba reveals how he wants Manchester United to play

Paul Pogba says he wants to see Manchester United playing more fast one-touch football after their impressive comeback win against West Ham.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side were atrocious in the first-half of their 3-1 win at the London Stadium on Saturday evening, but performed much better after the introduction of Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford at the break.

The United duo helped to turn the game on its head as United struck three times without reply to secure a vital win and climb up the Premier League table.

French midfielder Pogba got the comeback underway with a fine strike from distance as United grew in confidence and began to play with a faster tempo and energy.

The next issue for United is sustaining such a level performance for the entirety of a match and Pogba is keen to see his teammates build up the positive foundations they laid in the second-half against West Ham.

“We played. We play how we love to play football," Pogba told MUTV after the win. "Remember against Leipzig, when we played, when we scored the goals in the second half it was the same. It was two touch, two touch, one touch.

"The goal of Rashy was one-touch football. It was beautiful. That’s what we are, we have the quality to do that, and we have to do it from the start.

"There are so many chances, we conceded, it was hard for us in the first half and we showed character in the second half and that’s what we have to remember.”
