Manchester United will have lost forces in the battle, but qualified for the semi-finals of the Cup of England by having Norwich after overtime (2-1, 1-1 after 90 minutes) thanks in particular to the entry in decisive play by Paul Pogba.

Highly visible since his return to business during the first two meetings of the Mancunians since the resumption of competition, the Frenchman has long been preserved by his coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. It was only after the equalization that the world champion came into play, to boost the meeting.

He almost scored at the last second of regulation time, and was in all the hot moments in overtime, taking advantage of spaces which he loves in the midfield, left free after the exclusion of the Swiss defender Timm Klose (89th), guilty of girdling Ighalo, who spun on goal (89th). Pogba’s ease was rewarded in the 118th minute, where he is, of a malignant flick towards Anthony Martial, behind the goal of Harry Maguire.

With a team very overhauled at the start, the Red Devils had, before that, suffered a lot of pressure from the “Canaries”, and the goal of Odion Ighalo at the start of the first period (51st) had only masked part of the deficiencies . It was therefore logically enough that Todd Cantwell saw his beautiful strike from far end in the back of the net (75th), a relief for Norwich.

But the overtime was too long for the Premier League red lantern, which lost hope to save much of its season.
