Paul Pogba has been crowned Manchester United's Player of the Month for the first time this season, after being a pivotal figure in the Reds' late December resurgence.
The Frenchman gleaned 66 per cent of the votes cast by supporters on ManUtd.com and our official app, making him the clear winner ahead of his fellow nominees Marcus Rashford (28 per cent) and Jesse Lingard (6 per cent).
Pogba's monthly accolade comes on the back of his two Man-of-the-Match performances against Huddersfield Town and Bournemouth, in which he scored two goals apiece as the Reds racked up comfortable 3-1 and 4-1 wins respectively at Old Trafford.
Watch Pogba's first goal against Huddersfield on Boxing Day.
“That was a top, top performance from a midfielder because it was an all-round display.His work rate... he was dangerous in the box, he won headers, he won tackles and there was no showboating. It was touch, pass and move. He played an efficient game. And Paul knows he is at his best when he plays that game.“
