Paul Pogba has warned his Manchester United teammates that there will be stiffer tests to come in the Champions League following its 3-0 win at Young Boys.
United battled through its opening game of Group H, with Pogba scoring twice and setting up the third for Anthony Martial as Jose Mourinho's side made a confident start.
Debutants Young Boys struggled after falling behind to Pogba's opener and United was able to pick up another away success – its third in a row in all competitions.
However, Pogba knows its next three European matches will be the real barometer for how far it can go this season, given it faces Juventus twice after welcoming Valencia to Old Trafford.

"We started with three points, that's the most important thing. We know that we have the bigger teams coming up and we're going to have to get the result we want, because we are playing in the Champions League and it's for top teams only. Obviously, it's not going to be easy, but we've got to get through this group," he told the MUTV .
Pogba's second in Switzerland came from the penalty spot, the Frenchman putting aside memories of his miss against Burnley to double United's advantage before the break.
"I had no doubt about taking the penalty. I know I missed that one [against Burnley], but I told him [Jose Mourinho] I won't do the same mistake this time," the World Cup winner added.
"I had the confidence of the players as well, they let me take it too, so I thank them for this and I thank the manager. The most important thing was to put the ball in and that's what happened, so I'm happy."
