Pogba propels United back to its perch

Ole's table-toppers now raring for big Liverpool clash

It's been a long, expensive and often turbulent journey, but Manchester United is back in a place it used to know so well－top of the English Premier League.

A 1-0 win at Burnley on Tuesday, secured by a deflected volley from Paul Pogba, lifted United above great rival Liverpool to the summit of England's top division after 17 games, approaching the halfway point of the season.

"We are exactly where we belong," United midfielder Nemanja Matic said.
