Pogba went just outside the box and proceeded to run forward in extremely short steps while raising his knees high.
The scenes drew gasps of exasperation from the home fans, and their worst fears were realised when Pogba’s shot ended up being saved by Jordan Pickford.
Luckily for the Frenchman, the ball spilled out to him and he was able to tuck it away to give United the lead.
