Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has warned Manchester United stars Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial and Alexis Sanchez they should follow Paul Pogba's example if they are to revive their careers at the club.
Lukaku and Sanchez suffered a dramatic loss of form in the last months of Jose Mourinho's tempestuous spell in charge at Old Trafford, while Martial was criticised by the Portuguese coach before finding his scoring boots.
World Cup winner Pogba was another key player who became a symbol of the club's decline in the final weeks before Mourinho's two-and-a-half year tenure came to an end before Christmas.
But the 25-year-old Frenchman has responded superbly to Solskjaer's first week in charge and made big contributions to a 5-1 win at Cardiff and 3-1 home victory against Huddersfield.
Lukaku missed those games, having been given 'compassionate leave' by the cub, as did Sanchez who has been sidelined since late November with a hamstring injury. Solskjaer says Pogba deserves all the credit for his return to form.
"I cannot do anything for their performances on the pitch," said Solskjaer.
"Paul has done it himself. It's up to them when they get a chance. That's the name of the game as a footballer, you've got to do it yourself."
"Just enjoy playing for this club, that's the best time of your life."
