Pogba revels in United form
Paul Pogba says he is delighted with Manchester United's run of form but there is no time to relax with so many big games ahead.
The midfielder scored twice for United as they moved into the top four in the Premier League with a 3-0 victory away at struggling Fulham.
It will be the big games coming up now that decide where we end the season.

Pogba gave United an early lead at Craven Cottage, Anthony Martial scored a second after 23 minutes and Pogba scored his second and United's third with a second half penalty to make the game safe.
It was United's 10th win in 11 games since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over from Jose Mourinho, a run of form that has seen them get back into contention for a place in the Champions League next season.
The win at Fulham moved them above Chelsea into fourth in the table, the Blues needing a point or better at Manchester City on Sunday to climb back above United.
Pogba said after the game that now they are in such a run of form, they have no intention of letting it slip.
He told the BBC: "It feels great, that's what we wanted since Ole came. We talked about this there's still a long way to go but we want to stay there.
"We were very far behind and now we get back to the top four but there's still a long way to go with big games coming up so it won't be easy. The big teams now they just stay there. It will be the big games coming up now that decide where we end the season."
The first of those "big" games comes in midweek when United are in Champions League action with the round of 16 first-leg against Paris St Germain at Old Trafford.
United are 6/4 to win the game and take a lead back to the French capital while PSG are 13/8 and the draw is 5/2.
United then travel to Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup next Monday before a return to the Premier League, at home to Liverpool on 24th February.
United are 6/1 to win the FA Cup this season with Chelsea, who beat them in last year's final 11/2.
