Solskjaer singles out Paul Pogba 'absolutely brilliant' performance against Liverpool

Pogba came close to scoring the winning goal in the second half and Solskjaer is impressed by the Frenchman's display, particularly at the back.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the Liverpool draw, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: "I think we grew in the game and toward the end it was there for us to win. We created two massive chances and it was two brilliant saves by the keeper.

"We can play better than this, we can be more composed, we can have the ball more. We had to defend really often today. There are a couple of things for us to improve on.

"I though Paul Pogba was absolutely brilliant today. We knew he had to do a job defensively to help us with Andy Robertson and I thought he was excellent and should have got the goal his performance deserved."

Pogba was impressive in the unfamiliar role on the right at Anfield on Sunday, coming close to scoring the winning goal for Manchester United in the second half.
