Paul Pogba has sent a note of warning to Man United rivals Liverpool ahead of their top-of-the-table clash at the weekend.

The French midfielder scored United's winner against Burnley at Turf Moor and he is ready for the big moment when they meet the Reds at Anfield.

The Red Devils topped the Premier League after New Year for the first time since they won the title under Alex Ferguson in 2013.

Pogba told BBC Sport as quoted by Mirror:

"It will be a beautiful game for everyone.
"It's a big game coming up so let's get ready for it.
"We knew if we won tonight we would be top of the league when we play Liverpool.
"We have to keep calm, now it is the big moment. We will see what is going to happen."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has quick to praise his team's resolve after the win against Burnley despite the turbulent start of the new campaign as they moved to first on the league standings.

The Norwegian boss said:

"We feel very confident going into games.
"Away from home we have really done well. We have to believe in ourselves and we do. We've done a great job, it's good times.
"It's a test on Sunday against the champions."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Paul Pogba's unbeatable volley in the 71st minute was all Manchester United needed to beat Burnley at Turf Moor.

The victory ensured the Red Devils maintain their unbeaten run away from home in the Premier League this campaign.

Pogba wasted no time before smashing the ball into the back of the net after receiving a sumptuous delivery from Marcus Rashford from the right flank.

The Englishman after receiving the pass waited for the Frenchman to arrive at the vantage position before sending the ball to him while the World Cup winner fired home from the edge of the box.
