    The atmosphere is back at Old Trafford, what a difference a week makes.

    "We love United, we do, we love United, we do," bellow the home supporters.

    Their side are closing in on fourth-placed Chelsea now and should the Blues fall to defeat at Watford later today, the gap will just be five points.

    Another player cast aside by Jose Mourinho is coming up with the business now.

    Paul Pogba exchanges passes with Jesse Lingard and there seems to be now danger from 30 yards out, but the Frenchman takes a touch and rockets a finish into the bottom corner.

    A brilliant finish, Jonas Lossl had no chance.

    That Paul Pogba goal will settle a few nerves around Old Trafford.

    It is clear who the Manchester United fans are crediting with the situation given the ground reverberated to songs about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

    Providing the home side go on to win, Solskjaer will join Matt Busby, Dave Sexton and Jose Mourinho in the post War era as United managers who have won their first two top-flight league games.

    Lead, doubled.

    This is made by Juan Mata. The Spaniard looks like he will flourish under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with the freedom that he has to run at the Huddersfield backline.

    He evades two defenders, pulls the ball back for Ander Herrera and the chance looks to be gone, but in comes Paul Pogba to sweep home a finish low into the net.

    A dab from the Frenchman to celebrate in front of the Stretford End.
