Paul Pogba has said Manchester United must approach next week’s Europa League second leg with the same mentality that resulted in a 6-2 win from Thursday’s first meeting.
The Reds four-goal victory means the Reds will head to the Italian capital next week in a very commanding position, after goals from Bruno Fernandes (2), Edinson Cavani (2), Pogba and Bruno Fernandes.
Despite the Reds’ strong advantage, Pogba was keen to point out that the tie is far from over.
“For sure, the result was positive but it’s not finished yet,” he told BT Sport.
“It’s one more leg to go through so we are going to have to stay focused and play the next game with the same mentality.”
The Reds were trailing 2-1 at half-time and it took a phenomenal fightback from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side to emerge with a four-goal lead after 90 minutes.
“I would say first half, we made two mistakes and conceded two goals. When we conceded the second goal, we were a bit all over the place,” said Pogba.
“At half-time we spoke and said ‘let’s do the right things, the simple things’. The manager spoke, we were all motivated to go and score [as many] goals as possible.
