Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has admitted Paul Pogba made the difference against AC Milan on Thursday night.

The Frenchman, making first appearance since February 6, scored in the 1-0 victory which put United in the Europa League quarter-finals.

"Obviously, we're very happy we're through," Shaw told BT Sport. "I'll be honest, and the lads and staff would agree, we weren't good at all especially first half we were awful.

"The first 10-15 minutes, we started well, kept control of the ball but it was like a switch - we turned off, kept giving away balls, bringing pressure on ourselves and we were lucky.

"Second half it always helps to have a world class player like Paul (Pogba) to make a difference and he did that. But we know we need to be better than tonight.

"It's a very good win and the positive is that we are through, we have players coming back and the squad looks better."
