"But he [Matic] will be more defending."We can switch, but we match a lot and in those two games, I have been more forward and he has stayed back. "That helps me more be myself. I still do the defensive part, but now I can go forward more and help the strikers. I like to be in front of the goals too. He helps me and I enjoy it, yes." United's commanding displays in their opening two games have prompted many to tip them to claim their first league title since 2012-13 this term. Pogba insists Mourinho's men will not become complacent, but says they have no reason to fear their closest rivals. "I'm pleased and happy that we have started really well, but it is not finished yet. It is just the start of the season," he said. "The biggest challengers? We are our own rivals and we think about ourselves first. But we don't have to be scared of anyone in the league because we know we are a strong team as well. We know we can do great this season. "I hope [we can win the title]. Every team is strong, like when Leicester won it two years ago and nobody expected it, so you don't know what's going to happen."We started very well, but we can end up bad and we don't want this. We want to be focused from game to game." Next up for United is the visit of 2015-16 champions Leicester City, a fixture the hosts won 4-1 last season, with Pogba on target.</blockquote>
