"Because what matters is to put the ball inside (the goal)," Pogba said when asked why he changed his penalty run-up.

"That's all, I've learnt," he added. "Maybe I tricked him (the goalkeeper) today!"

Pogba also admitted that United were lucky to have got maximum points against the London club.

"I think we had the luck, you always have to take it, sometime it is for the other team but we took it today."

Pogba has now scored with 13 league goals and since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over from Jose Mourinho last December.
