Manchester United see best and worst of Paul Pogba in draw vs. Wolves

FacebookTwitterFacebook MessengerPinterestEmail MANCHESTER, England -- Three points from Old Trafford as Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. 1. The best and worst of Pogba as United are held Questions about Paul Pogba have never been about his talent, rather about whether he can do it week after week and whether the moments of brilliance are more frequent than those of frustration. Against Wolves at Old Trafford on Saturday, he showcased the best of what he brings to this Manchester United team. Unfortunately for both him and Jose Mourinho, he followed it up with the worst. After scoring twice against Young Boys in the Champions League on Wednesday night, it was the Frenchman's contribution that set Manchester United off against Wolves. Like the game in Switzerland, United were forced to survive first before going ahead.Fantasy Play ESPN Fantasy Soccer  Pick your eight-man team and compete in the Champions League, Premier League, La Liga or Liga MX, then go head-to-head in leagues against your friends or people around the world.

This time it was a wonderfully clever touch with a ball that was dropping out of the sky on the edge of the penalty area that gave Fred the chance to swivel and shoot past Rui Patricio from 20 yards. It was the Brazilian's first United goal after his £47 million move from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer, and he celebrated by stuffing the ball up his shirt as a tribute to his pregnant girlfriend. There was also a short dance routine with Pogba in recognition of his role in the whole thing. But if that was a flash of his talent, it was not long after that he gave a glimpse into why Jose Mourinho, in particular, finds him so frustrating. Shortly after half-time, he was guilty of over-playing in midfield and, after being robbed of the ball, Helder Costa attacked down the right before Raul Jimenez laid off for Joao Moutinho, once a United target, to smash his finish in the top corner. Mourinho screamed at Pogba from the touchline, as much for his limp attempt to get back as for losing the ball. It will worry Mourinho that, after the equaliser, Wolves looked more likely to hit United on the break and score a second. It will also be a concern that his star midfielder is still causing a conundrum. 2. Dalot has given Valencia questions to answer Mourinho's decision to rest Diogo Dalot against Wolves was understandable. Despite an impressive debut in the Champions League, it would have been a lot to ask of a 19-year-old to expect him to do it again
