Manchester United former midfielders, Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves have named Paul Pogba as the club’s best player during their 1-0 away win over AC Milan in the Europa League last 16 on Thursday.
The former stars hailed the Frenchman for his ‘class’ performance against AC Milan as United landed in the quarter-finals of the competition.
The former Juventus star came on for Marcus Rashford at half-time and scored within a matter of minutes.
The goal secured a 2-1 aggregate win for the Red Devils and Scholes told BT Sport, “I don’t think they[United players] were special on the night.
“That man there [Pogba] really did make a difference. Not just his goal but I think he livened everybody else up.
“It wasn’t a special performance, it didn’t need a special performance, just a victory. Pogba was really good when he came on. Came into that left-hand side position.
“Showed bits of quality right from the off and livened everybody up. He’s different. He can create. He can score goals.”
Hargreaves added, “He [Pogba] played fabulous when he came on. He just added a touch of class.
“The goal was great. Everything about his performance in the second half was top drawer.
“He’s always looking for the ball. Always wanting to turn on the shoulder. He made the difference tonight. He added that touch of class when Man United really needed it.”
