Paul Pogba: Player of the Month for August

(Baonghean.vn) - With 379 minutes on the field in 4 matches, scoring 2 goals, assisting 1 goal and being voted the best player of the match twice,Pogba has just been awarded MU's Player of the Month for August.

In a Twitter poll with more than 16,000 MU fans participating, midfielder Pogba ranked highest. Behind him were two teammates, midfielder Nemanja Matic and center back Phil Jones.

Last August was a period of sublimation for the French midfielder in the MU shirt. Midfielder Pogba was the author of two goals, one assist and was voted the best player of the match twice.

Pogba and his convincing performances helped the Red Devils reach a maximum of 9 points after 3 rounds with 10 goals and no goals conceded, leading the Premier League. Up to now, MU is the only English team to have won all 3 matches at the beginning of this season.

The France international scored in both 4-0 wins over West Ham United and Swansea City respectively, while also setting up Anthony Martial for the Swans. His impressive form saw Pogba named Man of the Match at West Ham's Liberty Stadium, and was voted for the award again in United's 2-0 win over Leicester at Old Trafford.

With his goal against the Hammers, West Ham United's nickname, on the opening day of the Premier League, he officially joined the club's list of unprecedented goalscorers (scoring in the last match of last season and in the first match of the new season). Pogba's neat and powerful kick against Swansea was also rated as the Goal of the Month for August.

It seems that in his second year at Old Trafford, along with the arrival of midfielder Nemanja Matic, Pogba has played brilliantly and full of energy. In the 4-2-3-1 formation, Pogba plays as a central midfielder with Matic but he is allowed to play more freely by coach Mourinho. That is why he has a hand in 3/11 goals of MU at the beginning of the season.

The 24-year-old also won the Europa League Player of the Season award in 2016/17, after his huge contribution to United's title triumph in the competition. Pogba was also honoured with the Player of the Month award in May last season. He marked his farewell to the season with a brilliant performance, especially Paul Pogba's opening goal in the final against Ajax in Stockholm. Congratulations, Paul!
