Thierry Henry feels Paul Pogba's display in Manchester United's 2-0 win at Everton is evidence that his fellow Frenchman has found his best position.

Pogba assisted both goals as Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard struck at Goodison Park, with the United captain running the game from the left of the midfield three - given much more freedom and far less defensive responsibility thanks to the presence of Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera.

United boss Jose Mourinho had been forced to make changes in attack at Everton following injuries to Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with Juan Mata, Lingard and Martial all playing ahead of Pogba.

But it was the skipper who caught Henry's eye, and reminded the Arsenal legend of his days at Juventus.

"He can play in a lot of positions. I said when he first arrived that, for me, he is not a holding midfielder," said Sky Sports pundit Henry during his analysis of the match.

"He can play in a lot of positions but that (the left of the midfield three) is where he is at his best. That was vintage Juve Pogba.

"Every time Lingard was making that early run inside, he was occupying that position on the left.

"When you go back on your right foot - I used to go on the left myself - you can ping a ball on the other side, you can play that reverse pass, you can play a cute one-two, you can dribble past people. As we saw, he did it all in the second half.

"When he plays at that level he is almost unplayable and I think he changed the second half."

Henry added that he feels being given the United captaincy has also helped Pogba's game.

"He went up to a certain level," he continued. "That's what you do as a captain. You say to your team-mates, 'guys, follow me. I'll show you the way.'

"When he plays like that and when he plays on the left, coming in and being kind of free, it's very difficult to stop him.

"Today he acted like a captain. That's very important too."
