Manchester United coach Mike Phelan congratulated Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for allowing Paul Pogba to play again with freedom after the midfielder's frustration towards the end of Jose Mourinho's term.
Pogba's formation stung after a serious crisis with Mourinho and the arrival of Solskjaer in December caused a resurgence for the 26-year-old who scored nine goals in Norway's first 12 games.
However, Pogba has been closely tied to Real Madrid in recent weeks and the French's performance suggests that his mind might be elsewhere before the summer transfer window.
Pogba has had face-to-face discussions with Solskjaer about his future and Phelan hopes that the World Cup winner will be able to achieve his ambitions with the Red Devils.

"It's not the finished contract when everyone looks at it and already sees a World Cup winner, but it's not over yet, there's still a lot to be done and that's the exciting side of United, "said Phelan. Reuters.
"There are players out there who have not been successful for the club what they have to do and we want to make sure they enjoy that experience and that they grab it. An opportunity to win things at Manchester United. "
Phelan thinks that Solskjaer did a "fantastic job" with Pogba, who played with too much "caution" under Mourinho.
Asked about the last months of Pogba under Mourinho, Phelan replied: "I think this has been the case for a lot of players. They were probably a little slow and very cautious.
"Paul had a spell where all eyes were on him and the delivery of his best was not at the rendezvous – consistency.

"We are now trying to apply ourselves to Paul's game.
"Ole did a great job helping Paul through some of the spells and he adopted it and he matures all the time."
