The Reds have previously only reached that figure in one campaign, 2002/03, when Ruud van Nistelrooy netted 10 of the team's dozen converted kicks.
That dead-ball tally for the Dutchman is also a Reds' joint record, the highest for an individual penalty-taker in one term - shared with Steve Bruce for his exploits in 1990/91.
Pogba is only two behind that prolific pair though, and United still have a minimum of six more games to play in all competitions in 2018/19.
Other marksmen who have scored more than six pens in one season are Gordon Strachan (nine in 1984/85), Gerry Daly (eight in 1974/75), Charlie Mitten (seven in 1948/49), van Nistelrooy again (seven in 2001/02) and Wayne Rooney, who netted seven of United's 11 successful spot-kicks in 2011/12.
