Paul Pogba destroys three CSKA Moscow players with one slick move in Champions League clash

France midfielder did not let the cloud of a three-game domestic suspension overshadow his showing at Old Trafford

PAUL POGBA showed Manchester United fans what they will have to do without in Sunday's derby with this incredible bit of skill.

The France midfielder took care of three CSKA Moscow players with one flash of brilliance on Tuesday night.

Jose Mourinho's side went on to top Group A with goals from Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford at Old Trafford.

Pogba provided the assist for Lukaku - but it was another moment of magic that will live long in the memory.

The former Juventus star held off a trio of CSKA players before shimmying away and releasing a pass to a team-mate.

United fans, predictably, absolutely loved it and took to Twitter to voice their approval.
