Manchester United interim coach Ralf Rangnick was being careful by taking Paul Pogba off against Leeds United after his long injury lay-off.

The Frenchman was impressive during his 70 minute stint in the 4-2 victory.

"He did well in the first half, but he didn't play from the wing, he played as one of the two eights along with Bruno," Rangnick said.

"On the wing we played with Jesse Lingard and Jadon Sancho and he [Pogba] did great, but after 60 minutes you could see him starting to tire, which is normal after such a long injury break.

"It was great however to bring on two energetic players like Fred and Anthony Elanga."
