Ander Herrera reveals key to Paul Pogba's surge in form at Man Utd under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Paul Pogba has been set "free" by Manchester United and is conjuring "magic" performances - according to team-mate Ander Herrera.
The French midfielder has scored four goals in three games since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge, and orchestrated a hard-fought win over Newcastle on Wednesday night.
Pogba is driving United ever closer to the top four, after Champions' League qualification seemed impossible after poor results under axed Jose Mourinho.
Herrera says Pogba, linked with a transfer to Juventus after disagreements with Mourinho, is key to United's revival.
Team mates have pledged to graft to ensure Pogba can express himself and open up teams with his skill and running power.
The World Cup winner limped out of St James' Park with scuff mark high on his thigh from a terrible challenge from Jonjo Shelvey, but was in good spirits posing for photographs.
Herrera said: "I think Nemanja Matic and me, and the other players, we have to help him to make him feel free and that's what we're doing.
"When he is in the opponent's half he has that magic to change the game, so we are really happy for him.
"He is very important for the club - on the pitch and off the pitch as well.
"He's playing really, really well. Not only with the ball. I think as soon as we lose the ball he is ready to defend, ready to help the team.
"He is playing very simple and effective in our half."
Herrera says United can't get bogged down fretting about catching the top four, with Chelsea six points clear at the moment.
He said: "When I saw we were maybe 12 points behind, I decided to not think about it, go game-by-game and that's what we did.
"That's what I did at least and things are going well, so I don't want to change. I am not going to think about that.
"If we continue this run, we will be closer to the top four but it's not something that kills my mind right now.
"I respect a lot what the last manager did for us.
"The only thing I can say, or the only thing I can talk about, is our form right now.
"It's very good, we are happy, we are playing good and I hope we can continue."
Big tests lie ahead for Solskjaer's side, greater than Cardiff, Huddersfield, Bournemouth and Newcastle.
After facing Reading in the FA Cup United jet to Dubai for a sunshine break, before tackling Spurs.
Herrera added: ""The next Premier League game is Tottenham and is going to be even tougher.
"Yeah, I hope we can win against Reading and we go (to Dubai) even more happy."
