Paul Pogba pays tribute to Manchester United teammate Henrikh Mkhitaryan after the Armenian opened his goalscoring account for the club on Thursday night.

Paul Pogba has claimed that Manchester United teammate Henrikh Mkhitaryan "is just getting going" as the Armenian international continues to impress for Jose Mourinho's side.

The summer signing from Borussia Dortmund struggled to adapt to the rigours of Premier League football in the early stages of the campaign, but he has been thrust into the starting XI in recent weeks.

The 27-year-old scored his first Man United goal in Thursday's 2-0 win over Zorya Luhansk in the Europa League, and Pogba has backed the attacker to be a key player for the club this season.

"We know how good he is," Pogba told MUTV. "You just have to be confident and now he's playing more, he has more games on his legs. He is just getting going, he is just going that way and that's what we want."

Man United, who will learn their last-32 Europa League opponents on Monday, return to Premier League action at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.
