Paul Pogba has become the first Man United player to register four assists in a single Premier League match.

Pogba was in fine shape during United's first Premier League clash of the 2021/22 season as he helped his side hammer Leeds 5-1 at Old Trafford.

Buoyed by the over 70,000 supporters who turned up at the Theatre of Dreams, United made a flying start to the new season to send rivals a clear warning.

However, they had to wait until the half-hour mark to break the deadlock when Pogba set up Bruno Fernandes for the opener.

Luke Ayling levelled matters minutes into the second half with a stunning finish from 25 yards, only for Pogba to swing the momentum in favour of the Red Devils by feeding Mason Greenwood who tore past the Leeds keeper to make it 2-1.

Fernandes extended United's lead shortly after thanks to Pogba's well-placed pass before the Portuguese completing a sensational hat trick by latching onto Victor Lindelof's raking pass.

Fred put the game beyond the visitors in the closing stages of the clash after Pogba feeding him a low cross to finish with a crisp drive.

Pogba's meticulous display saw him enter United record books as he proved his commitment to the club.

Speaking after the match, a clearly delighted Ole Gunnar Solskjaer delved into Pogba's future at Old Trafford, revealing he has had positive discussions with the Frenchman.

"It’s been spoken and written about so often but every discussion I have had with Paul is a positive one," Metro UK quoted the United boss saying.

"He knows what we want and hopefully, it stays in the background and Paul and us will make a decision together," he added.
