Paul Pogba gets two in Manchester United demolition of Fenerbahce

Paul Pogba scored twice as Manchester United secured a 4-1 win over Fenerbahce in the Europa League.

The £93.25m Frenchman put United ahead with a penalty and scored a spectacular second after Anthony Martial had doubled United's lead with another spot kick.

Jesse Lingard struck the hosts' fourth goal early in the second half, with Robin van Persie grabbing Fenerbahce's consolation on his return to Old Trafford.

Mourinho was criticised for his defensive tactics in Monday's goalless draw with Liverpool, but United fans were treated to rather more goalmouth entertainment against Fenerbahce. It took them most of the first half to get going, but Pogba's penalty sparked Mourinho's men to life.

The Frenchman's second goal and Lingard's strike shortly after half-time were intricately worked and brilliantly executed, and with Juan Mata restored to the starting line-up, some of United's incisive attacking play was a welcome sight after their laboured recent displays.

Fenerbahce were hardly the most resilient opponents, but United's performance showed they can trouble defences without the rested Zlatan Ibrahimovic. For Mourinho, it was a satisfying response to recent criticism.
