The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Chelsea now have a five-point cushion in the race for a top-four finish and defensive reinforcements are clearly needed in January if Arsenal are to compete for a Champions League return.
Near-perfect Pogba
What a difference little more than a week has made to spirits at Manchester United.
Eight days ago life without Jose Mourinho began with a 5-1 thrashing of Cardiff, while both Huddersfield and Bournemouth have now been sent packing from Old Trafford with the sort of routine defeat United fans expect.
Paul Pogba wasn’t even on the pitch for the final act of Mourinho’s reign as he sat on the bench for the full 90 minutes in defeat to Liverpool, but Solskjaer’s promise to build his team around the Frenchman has paid off instantly.
After scoring twice against Huddersfield, Pogba bagged another double on Sunday as well as setting up Romelu Lukaku’s fourth goal and hitting the post.
This version of the midfielder is the one United thought they were buying when paying a then world record £89 million to Juventus in 2016.
