Martial reveals Man Utd now seeing 'real Paul Pobga'

Manchester United winger Anthony Martial says the club's supporters are finally seeing the "real" Paul Pogba.

The Frenchman endured a tumultuous relationship with Jose Mourinho, who dropped to the bench towards the end of his stint.

Since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Mourinho in December, Pogba has six goals and five assists through his last eight appearances. But that hasn't surprised his compatriot Martial.

Martial told Sky Sports: "We all know what quality Paul possesses - Paul is Paul.

"Now he has got this freedom to play with, I think we are beginning to see the real Paul Pogba play and let's hope it continues.

"He is a leader, he talks more in the dressing room than he does on the field to be fair. Technically and with the spoken word, he is a leader in both senses. I hope he can continue to lead us to great things."
