Paul Pogba reveals two targets at Manchester United

Paul Pogba has revealed two targets ahead of Manchester United's trip to face Wolves this weekend.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side head to Molineux in need of a much improved performance after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Southampton in their last outing.

Mason Greenwood netted United's only goal of the game with Pogba notching the assist, his fifth in only two Premier League matches this season.

Pogba is already three assists clear of any other player in the English top-flight and he admits he'd love to finish the campaign with more set-ups than anyone else.

“Which assist means the most to me? The next one. The next one, hopefully,” he told official club media. “It’s true that it’s been very nice to get those assists, but then you want to finish [as] the top assister of the league.

“You want to win something at the end, so all this will mean something with a trophy. It won’t mean anything without a trophy. I’m focused on that; I’m focused on giving my best on the pitch and hopefully I can get many more.”

Pogba could notch his next assist against Wolves this weekend but he insists the main focus is on winning the match in order to reach his points target.

He added: "“Seven points out of nine, that’s what we want. We want this win this weekend, we know it’s going to be very important. It’s the push. The games at the start are very important and it’s going to push us as well through the season and we need the three points.

“You know it’s going to be a tough one. It’s always going to be a tough one but we focus on that to get the three points.”
