To attempt something like this is one thing, but to actually pull it off is another. You may have missed Paul Pogba's outrageous piece of skill from last night.
Manchester United had a handsome 3-0 lead heading into their second-leg with Saint-Etienne thanks to a Zlat-trick hat-trick from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The towering Swede continued to torment the French side following his stint with PSG.
Despite the advantage, Jose Mourinho fielded a strong side which included Pogba in the middle of the park as he yet again faced off with his older brother, Florentin.

Not to mention Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. And it was the Armenian playmaker who gave United an early lead on the night to extend their aggregate score.
(This is how we imagine Jesse Lingard greeted him after seeing the skill.)
But it wasn't all good news for Jose. Shortly after scoring, Mkhitaryan was forced off with an injury. Followed by Michael Carrick who are now both a major doubt for the EFL Cup Final on Sunday against Southampton.
(Paul faced his brother, Florentin, for the second time in two weeks following last nights encounter.)

Though that didn't stop United going into cruise control with the crucial away goal. Enter Pogba. The United midfielder produced an audacious piece of skill with minutes left in the game.
He received the ball from a throw-in, controlling with his chest before returning the ball to Daley Blind then producing a wizardry touch by kicking the ball into the ground, which ballooned over the defenders head.
Check out the brilliance below. Time to gawk. Enjoy:
And, again, for good measure:

Very nice, Paul.
