Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes there is plenty to come from Paul Pogba after his decisive goal against AC Milan.
Solskjaer replaced injured Marcus Rashford with Pogba at the break and the United midfielder became a super sub.
Pogba struck home at the near post just three minutes after being introduced to securing a 1-0 win at Milan. Manchester United progressed through with an aggregate of 2-1 following a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
“When you win a game of football away from home in a stadium like this against a team like this, you’re very happy,” Solskjaer said.
“We started really well I felt. First 15-20 minutes I thought we looked like a very good team,” he revealed.
“Then there was a spell from halfway through the first half to half-time that we rushed things, missed the ball, lost the ball too often, made it a long game,” he added.
“I just had to reiterate a couple of things, and the second half I felt we were much, much better,” he said.
Among those who produced an outstanding performance for the Red Devils are Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof. The two centers half were solid at the defense while Dean Henderson produced a key save from ex-United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Solskjaer also claims that Henderson was outstanding at the goal post after the English learned from Simon Kjaer’s equalizer.
“It’s a save he should have made last week! Very similar,” Solskjaer said.
“No, very pleased for him of course. Great save. The team is always giving us everything you know,” he claimed.
“It started from the front with the pressing, the front four really high energy pressing and of course the back-six plus the keeper we know what they can do.
“Very happy with our defensive foundation. That gives you the platform to go and win games,” he stated.
