The world's most expensive footballer, Paul Pogba scored his first goal for his new club, Manchester United as they defeated Premier League champions Leicester City 4-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The Frenchman, in the 42nd minute, beat Leicester defender, Christian Fuchs to nod home Daley Blind's outswinging corner into the far corner for United's fourth goal which effectively killed the game.

Having been widely criticised for his lacklustre performances for United since his £89m transfer from Juventus, Pogba apart from the goal put in a splendid performance especially in the first half in what could be described as United's best display of the season so far.

Paired with Ander Herrera in midfield instead of Maroune Fellaini as has been the case in the season, Pogba tracked back, passed very well and ultimately bossed the midfield as is expected of a player with such hefty price tag.

And to cap it all, he was named Man-of-the-Match.
