Nemanja Matic sets Paul Pogba challenge after shining under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Paul Pogba has been reborn over the past week for Manchester United but must play even better, according to his teammate Nemanja Matic. “He’s very important for us,” said Matic, speaking after the Boxing Day win over Huddersfield. “When he plays at his best, he can make the difference in every game. “He played very well today, but I think that he can do even more. I do think so, but slowly, game by game. Today was very important for him to score some goals. His confidence for the next game is going to be bigger and he needs to know that he still can improve. He needs to know he’s very important for this team. His quality can make the difference and I hope he will continue like this.”
