POGBA hails Rooney

After recording a brace for the first time in his United creer- one from the penalty spot and a 20-yard effort- Pogba has praised United captain Wayne Rooney for allowing him to take the first penalty despite being the no.1 penalty taker.

 After scoring the first, he passed second penalty onto Martial who also converted as United defeated Fenerbahce 4-1 on Van Persie's return- he got the consolation goal.

“We wanted the win because it was really important and now we are at the top of the group and are looking forward to the next game,” he said.
“I told Wayne I wanted to take the penalty and he let me. I am very happy to score that penalty and from a player like him to let me [do that] it is big respect, so I am very glad.
“I feel comfortable with all of the team. It is just at the start of the season and there is still a long way to go and we want to go up and do our best and be top of the league.”

The result moved United into second place in Group A, level on points with leaders Feyenoord, and Pogba was understandably delighted with both the performance and the result.

United visit Chelsea on Sunday, while their next Europa League fixture is the return clash with Fenerbahce in Istanbul on November 3.
