Four years later, Pogba returned to Old Trafford, and there have been ups and downs since. His relationship with Jose Mourinho appeared to badly deteriorate before the manager was sacked in December 2018, and Pogba last week reflected on how he got on much better with Solskjaer than with the Portuguese.
Pogba has scored five goals and had six assists this season from 35 games, well down on his career best of 16 goals and 11 assists in 47 games in the 2018-19 season.
However, last season he contributed only one goal and three assists in 22 matches, so the World Cup winner at least seems to have turned a corner.
Across his 199 games to date for the club, Pogba has scored 37 goals and had 39 assists.
Pogba is a Muslim and is following the customs of Ramadan, the month of prayer and reflection which runs until mid-May.
Muslims who are able to are encouraged to fast during daylight hours, and Pogba says he can remain physically strong enough to keep playing at his best during the period.
I would say now I m just getting used to it, he said. I ve been doing it for years. I have a professional nutritionist as well here, who helps me with what I have to eat and also when I train, he gives me some stuff, some protein, so I don t lose too much muscle and it s okay.
I m lucky. It s not that hot, you know, so I can deal with it. It s not that hard, you know. It s okay and it s for a good cause so it s good.
As they prepare to head to West Yorkshire, United have good recent memories of facing Leeds, having won the reverse fixture 6-2 at Old Trafford in December. Only twice in the Premier League have they done the double over Leeds (1996-97 and 1999-00).
