Pogba can equal Ronaldo’s Man United club record of consecutive braces against Newcastle

Paul Pogba has been one of the main beneficiaries of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's appointment as Manchester United's caretaker manager, with the midfielder producing some excellent performances.

Pogba, who endured a difficult first half of the season under Jose Mourinho, has scored four goals and provided three assists in his last three Premier League games.

That includes braces in the victories over Huddersfield and Bournemouth, with Pogba having the chance to equal a club record set by Cristiano Ronaldo when United face Newcastle away on Wednesday night.

In December 2006 Ronaldo scored braces in three consecutive league games - against Aston Villa, Wigan and Reading - before that sequence came to an end in January 2007 when he failed to find the net against Newcastle.
