Pogba, 25, again compares the current Manchester United set-up to the team's travails under Jose Mourinho, opining that the Red Devils have regained momentum and believes they're edging closer to getting their identity back.
The France international returned to Old Trafford from Juventus in 2016 at the start of Mourinho's tenure in a then-world record transfer.
Mourinho was let go after three years with the club and Pogba in particular enjoying an upturn in form since Old Gunner Solskjaer took over.
And on Thursday the midfielder repeated his belief that the team is in better shape under Mourinho's replacement.
"The way we are playing we have more possession of the ball. We know more where to attack and where to go. We have more of a pattern of play and more of a structure," he told Sky Sports News .
"That makes it easier for everyone. So I would not say it is only myself. Yes, I have scored a few goals and had a few assists but it is all the team [that deserves credit]."Victory over Tottenham at the weekend made it seven straight wins in all competitions for United under the Norwegian, a run that has propelled the Red Devils back into contention for a Champions League spot.
And Pogba believes that the 1-0 win shows that United should be taken seriously as contenders after their woes at the start of the 2018-19 season.
"It was great for us. It was great to show we are coming back and getting closer to the top," Pogba added.
"We needed points and we showed that we could beat a big team.
"I wouldn't say [we had] luck because you create your own luck. David did his job and I thank him for that.
"I think the team performance was great. We played against a good team. You cannot say they are not a good team because they have top players.
"It was a great game and it was a good victory for us."
