Paul Pogba breaks personal record with Manchester United goal against Fulham

It didn’t take long for Paul Pogba to continue his scintillating form, requiring just 14 minutes to break the deadlock against Fulham.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made six changes to his starting XI in light of Tuesday’s heavyweight Champions League encounter against PSG, but so crucial has the Frenchman been to Manchester United’s recent upsurge that the Norwegian opted to keep the 24-year-old at the heart of his midfield for the visit to Craven Cottage.

United were sloppy during the early stages as the struggling hosts created several promising opportunities, but Solskjaer’s side burst into life just shy of the quarter hour mark.

Anthony Martial reclaimed possession deep in Fulham territory and located the run of Pogba with a clever reverse pass.

There appeared to be little immediate danger but Sergio Rico was beaten at his near post after Pogba unleashed an explosive shot which left the Spanish goalkeeper completely flat-footed.

The goal was Pogba’s 10th of the Premier League season, meaning he has now hit double figures in a league campaign for the first time of his career, and a staggering 80% of those have come under the interim management of Solskjaer, who replaced Jose Mourinho in December.

Pogba appeared destined for the Old Trafford exit door having been stripped of the vice-captaincy and left out of several high-profile matches, including the 3-1 defeat at Anfield which ultimately proved to be Mourinho’s last game in charge.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...
