Paul Pogba Breaks Personal Record, Outscores Top Strikers

Paul Pogba Breaks Personal Record, Outscores Top Strikers

Jamie Vardy – 7 goals

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has blossomed since Jose Mourinho was sacked, breaking his personal goalscoring record, and also outscoring some of Europe's elite strikers.

Click through the gallery above to see seven top forwards with less goals than Pogba this season.

The 25-year-old, who found himself on the bench during Mourinho's final two Premier League games with United, has scored six goals and assisted another four in the eight matches he has played since under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

With his latest strike against Burnley on Tuesday night, Pogba took his tally to 11 goals across all competitions for the 2018/19 campaign.

It is his best ever goalscoring return in a season, breaking the personal record he set at Juventus in 2014/15 and matched again the following season.

In both those campaigns, Pogba netted 10 times for the Serie A giants, but he has now already scored one more, although there is still about a third of the campaign to be played.

As a consequence, Pogba is outscoring the likes of Gonzalo Higuain, who has struck eight goals in 2018/19 so far, as well as Alvaro Morata, who has nine strikes thus far. Even United's most expensive forward, Romelu Lukaku, has scored two goals less than the Frenchman.

Do you think we are seeing the real Pogba now that Mourinho has left United? Have your say in the comments section below.
