What were the highlights of Manchester United's win over Fulham?
Pogba has kept himself onside, and what a finish! What a finish that is by Paul Pogba. Odoi's caught upfield, Martial getting forward, Odoi trying to get back, beautiful stuff from Anthony Martial! Oh, it's an absolute peach! Romelu Lukaku, Mata... Two goals, a 74-minute man of the match performance and he will even give you the shirt off his back.
Paul Pogba with two goals in the 3-0 win over Fulham.
How did Paul Pogba's performance impact the match outcome?
And here he is with Jeff Shreves.
Well done, Paul. Back into the top four. Just how good does that feel?
I feel great. That's what we wanted since Aldi came. We talked about this. We want to be at the top four.
What does Pogba's return to form mean for Manchester United?
Now there's still a long way to go, but we are there and we want to stay there now.
How big an achievement is it? You were 11 points off when he first took over.
It's great, obviously. Here we were very far and now we get back to the top four. We had good results. But like I said, it's still very long. And you have big games coming up, so it won't be easy. You have to carry on playing like that. Like we did, getting the result, positive result, good performance as a team, and that's it.
But just being there, no matter for how long, psychologically, does it give you something?
Oh, it's always good. It's always good, but... The big team now, they just stay there and when we need three points, we get the three points when we're playing away. Like I said, there's very big games coming up and that will decide where we're going to stay at the end of the season, I think.
How is Manchester United's position in the top four significant?
You personally seem to be the embodiment of the turnaround in form. How much are you enjoying yourself right now? I mean, it's already your best ever scoring season.
Yeah, like I always say, it's always great to score goals, but the most important is to win games. You can score goals, but when you don't win, it's not the same feeling. I feel great, the team feel good, and you just have to carry on like this.
First goal today, did you gamble when you smashed it near post?
I shoot, I shoot. I just try, you know, it went 50-50. So I just try with my left foot. It's not my best foot, but the ball went in and I'm really happy and pleased.
And the penalty run-up, it still intrigues us. Do you count those little steps?
No, I don't. I just focus on trying to put the ball inside the goal.
What challenges lie ahead for Manchester United after this victory?
Also as well, this result today and the fact you're into the top four, how much does that prepare you for the huge games coming up in the next fortnight?
This game was very important. The three points were very important. Like you can see, we are fourth, even if I don't think Chelsea played. But it's still good. It's a good sign. It gives confidence to the team. Like I said, you have to carry on like that to stay in the top four.
Well, you did your job today. Lovely gesture, giving away your shirt to a young fan. I can give you this in return. You're the Premier League man of the match. Well played, Paul. Thank you.
Well, Pogba played 74 minutes in a side that started with six changes.
How did Fulham's tactics contribute to their defeat?
The suggestion, Louis, being that perhaps the games to come against PSG in the Champions League, against Chelsea in the FA Cup, against Liverpool in the league, may be more important than this one today. However, from what Paul Pogba said, how important was it that they went out, not just and got the win, but to win in the way that they did?
I think it's very, very important. The fact of, like, getting into a run is really important, but the actual quality of the performances, the mentality they show when they don't play well, they have, like, the character to have them come back or do stuff that reassures the manager. So every single thing that you can, like, try to criticise is not there because they respond very well. So by the time that maybe a player is saying, oh, yes, he's not very important about scoring goals, I'm sure he's lying, but... He definitely knows that it's more about being decisive, making sure that he's helping his teammates, his manager. That's what I think he's trying to say. The midfielder position that he had, because he's a quality figure, because he's a big lad, we always ask him too much from him sometimes.
