Paul Pogba (Manchester United)

A fantastic first-half display saw Manchester United decimate reigning champions Leicester City as they went into the interval 4-0 up, largely due to the dominating performance of Pogba.

The France international played arguably his best match so far in a United shirt as he made game high statistics of 99 passes, of which 65 were in the Foxes’ half, 115 touches of the ball, three key passes and two shots on target.

One of those shots on target was a bullet header from a Daley Blind cross which found its way past Kasper Schmeichel to round off the first-half scoring.

A fantastic strike from Demarai Gray pulled one back for the visitors, but it was the most expensive footballer in the world who stole the headlines with a commanding performance as the Red Devils were back to their scintillating best.
