Chapter 1: 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.
Chapter 2: 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.
Chapter 3: 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.

Chapter 4: 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.

Chapter 5: 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.
Chapter 6: 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. And there, I think the manager gave him the freedom to play a bit more forward. He's actually... making sure that he's knowing straight away his role.
He's being decisive, being like a figure, able to hold the ball, able to give the good balls to the forwards, and has been terrific to that because that's his main quality. Of course, he can help you defensively. I think he's very, very strong, but that's not his strength.

Chapter 7: What does Claudio Ranieri need to change for Fulham's survival?
I remember doing a game with you very early into Oli's reign, and you were saying that Paul Pogba is one of the best players around, bar none. At the time, people probably thought, well, that's a little bit... But I think now people are seeing the best Premier League player, the best midfield player at the moment.
That's the Pogba that everybody has been talking, waiting to see. His quality on the ball is just... There is no better player. In terms of holding the ball and finding the right pass at the right timing, it's been amazing. And it's got this instinct that you can't predict. Any player in any league will say that.
It's about finding the right passes, finding the right timing to do them and the quality to actually execute. And he's doing that.
What about this one, really?
I think it's actually almost like stripping everything back with Pogba. It's going back to that kid that plays on the street, not overcoached, just, you know what, you're a great player, you know the spaces to be in, you've got the skills, you've got the capability. He absolutely run the show today. He knows how to ghost into those areas.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of upcoming fixtures for both teams?
He's absolutely controlling the game with and without the ball.
Absolutely. I think as well, we... We talk about managers and the tactics so often now, and what it boils down to is, and I'm sure the three of us, when we talk about our best moments in our career, it boils down to confidence. It's all about feeling good when you're on the pitch. And when you look at Paul Pogba, I just see a player that is loving his football right now. He's enjoying it.
He's playing under... There's no restrictions. He's playing with freedom. And what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has done is he's unnerved. He's all sort of... taking away any restrictions for all of the players. If you'd have gone through before he was there, a lot of those players, you'd have thought, look at Matic in midfield, he looks like he's gone, he can't run anymore. Look at Herrera.
All of a sudden, these two now look like really good midfield players again. You looked at Rashford before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. There was even talk about maybe selling him at the start of the season. Now look how much he's worth. I mean, he has saved the club so much money in, what, three, four months already, because these players now look like the world-class players that we know they are.
But it just shows you, if their confidence is low and they're being restricted, how it can damage a player.
I think it's confidence as well, and touching on that, it's the manager believing in you as a player. And actually more, not just a player, as a person, knowing the players that you're working with. What do you need to get from them? I remember doing something with the French manager, Didier Deschamps, and it was at that time with, why is Mourinho not getting the best of him?
Why does he play well for France? And he was talking about, because he knows Pogba as a person, what makes him tick. So ultimately, it's looking at that and how can you work with that personality, not trying to change them, but knowing that personality to get the best out of him.
And so much of the criticism that was levelled at Paul Pogba seemed to be rooted in frustration because people could see the potential that he had to be the player that he now looks like. And we saw that particularly in the finish for the first goal, Louis.
Yeah, it's amazing. But look at what has just been said, the three of us, about the mentality and the confidence. But at the same time, even outside, when you finish and the game is gone, It's about how to actually share that with the fans. And I think he's been very, very good at doing something like this. Those finishings are about instinct. It's not even tactics.
