Pogba explained the fans inside Old Trafford pushed United towards an important win.

“It was good today. You can hear the fans – they were pushing us and feeling it," Pogba told Sky Sports.

"I think today was a very good performance as a team and a very good reaction from the City game.

“We kept believing. In the second half we didn’t get the nice passing, and the movement I think wasn’t there. We gave them a bit of confidence, that’s why they scored. But we got a corner and scored the winning goal.

“It’s a boost. We needed it to go again. We want the top four and they were opponents who are looking for the top four also. It was a good win and a good performance.”
