Paul Pogba sent an emphatic message to Manchester Uniteds fans after starring in Saturdays sensational derby victory.

Manchester City appeared destined to be crowned champions after goals from Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gundogan powered the home side into a commanding 2-0 half time lead.

Pogba helped turned the game on its head after the restart, however, scoring twice in the opening 10 minutes of the second period before Chris Smalling completed a sensational turnaround 20 minutes from time.

The pre-match build-up had been dominated by Pep Guardiolas astonishing claim that he had been offered the chance to sign Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in January.

After the match Guardiola embraced Pogba in the centre circle before the France international ran to the away fans and clearly told them to ignore the speculation surrounding his future.

Speaking of Pogbas performance, Mourinho said after the match: I was impressed but I dont know because I didnt even speak with him about what Pep told and what Raiola told

I didnt speak, Im not interested in knowing if it was Pep or Mino, Im not interested in that.

I know that Paul played well against Swansea, I know that Paul had a very good week of work especially Tuesday, Wednesday, he had two fantastic training sessions and this game comes in that sequence.

Of course, two goals for a midfield player, especially in a big match like this one stays in the memory of the people, especially for the fans it stays and he needs that confidence. He knows and I know he had some performances not at the level of expectation we have from Paul.
