two exquisite through balls last night leading to goals but who's was the better for you?
On that note, it's nice to have players that actually look to play it through the middle and not just keep it safe and get it wide all the time. Been a while since we've had players that do that.
Pogba or Mkhitaryan

mkhi - love both though
i love both players and personally wouldn't swap either for any other players in the epl (bar kdb/sanchez) in their respective positions

Pogba told Ibrahimovic to make the run in behind, paused on the ball, then played the pass perfectly. Superb.
The pass for Rashford was the easiest played all day, such was the space the Blackburn defence left.

Mkhi's required a split-second decision, had to be weighted perfectly for a very quickly moving target, represented a difficult technique in addressing and playing the ball, and was perfectly executed.
Pogba had a little more time to think and more space to put the ball into.
Both lovely passes, but Mkhi's was much more impressive for me.

I think Pogba's was harder to time and weight. Both excellent passes, though.

Pogbas. The first one was very good but the run from Rashford made it easier than it actually looked

-------------------------------
How was it harder to time and weight? There was loads of time. Zlatan was waiting for the ball to arrive for what seemed like an age. Pogba could have hit it harder and Zlatan would still have been on the end of it. I'd say that there was a smaller window of opportunity for Rashford to latch on to Micky's ball.

Because of the nature of how Ibra makes his runs compared to Rashford and the distance between the players.
Rashford's pace allows for Mkhi to just put it into the area where there was more space between the defence and the keeper than with Zlatan's run, and he doesn't need great timing to avoid the offside as Rashford is much quicker than Zlatan and the Blackburn defenders.
That's why for me Pogba's was harder to weight and time as there was less margin for error with it due to Ibra drifting in behind, as well as the ball being in the air for that much longer.
Pogba overhits that pass and the keeper gets it. Mkhi overhits his pass and Rashford still gets it.

Both look good enough to be considered, by me, as genuine United quality.
Rare in the current state of the club.
What is also a bit of a relief is that here are two players that the fans don't need to display their, all to often, omnipresent levels of stupidity/gullibility in order to express their fandom
