Pogba scores first goal for United

MANCHESTER: Paul Pogba finally ended his wait for a first goal for Manchester United since his world record transfer in Saturday´s clash against Leicester.

Pogba had gone five games without scoring following his £89 million ($115 million, 102 million euros) arrival from Juventus and had to endure criticism of some below-par performances.

But the 23-year-old France midfielder was on the scoresheet at last in the 42nd minute at Old Trafford.

Timing his run perfectly, Pogba met Daley Blind´s corner with a powerful header that gave Leicester goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler no chance.

It was United´s fourth goal of the half as Jose Mourinho´s side demolished the Premier League champions.
