Paul Pogba has started the season with a bang and he's got one man to thank - Nemanja Matic, reports the Mirror.
The Manchester United midfielder won the Europa League and League cup last season, scoring nine goals in 51 appearances.
Pogba has already scored twice in the Red Devils' opening two Premier League games and appears to be playing with a lot more freedom.
Matic joined Jose Mourinho's side last month in a £40million deal and impressed on his league debut, claiming the man of the match award against West Ham.
His defensive abilities have given Pogba license to demonstrate his attacking prowess, a move that is clearly paying off.
Speaking to ESPN FC, Pogba said: "I am mostly an offensive player and I think more about attacking. But he [Matic] will be more defending.
"We can switch, but we match a lot and in those two games, I have been more forward and he has stayed back.
"That helps me more be myself. I still do the defensive part, but now I can go forward more and help the strikers.
I like to be in front of the goals too
"He helps me and I enjoy it, yes."
