Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho believes Paul Pogba's form surge is thanks to his teammates now understanding his game.

Pogba was outstanding for the 3-0 win over Stoke City last night.

"He was moving the ball fantastically well, with long passes changing the direction and creating problems for the opponent," Mourinho said after the game.

"He had an assist and if he had scored the free-kick with the last shot of the game, it would be really a reward for him.

"I think he is happy with the way the team is playing and he's happy because the team is changing the profile and the profile is going more in his direction."
