The Arsenal legend Thierry Henry accolades about his countryman after Pogba displayed a wonderful performance against Everton.
Last night Manchester United won the match with flying colors against Everton, they registered a 2-0 win over them, and Henry glows Pogba’s performance against them.
In that match, Paul Pogba displayed what he is capable off, last night he wore the captain’s armband for Manchester United in absence of Valencia and provided two assists for Martial and Lingard.
After the match, Henry said: "He can play in a lot of positions. I said when he first arrived that, for me, he is not a holding midfielder,"
"He can play in a lot of positions but that is where he is at his best. That was vintage Juve Pogba.
"Every time Lingard was making that early run inside, he was occupying that position on the left.
"When you go back on your right foot — I used to go on the left myself — you can ping a ball on the other side, you can play that reverse pass, you can play a cute one-two, you can dribble past people. As we saw, he did it all in the second half.
"When he plays at that level he is almost unplayable and I think he changed the second half.
"He went up to a certain level. That's what you do as a captain. You say to your team-mates, 'guys, follow me. I'll show you the way.'"
The former Arsenal man added: "When he plays like that and when he plays on the left, coming in and being kind of free, it's very difficult to stop him,"
"Today he acted like a captain. That's very important too."
With that win over Everton now Manchester United move up to the second spot in the table and they are 12 points aback than their City rivals Manchester City.
