Fellow compatriot Cantona is remembered for his icon celebration after a delicate chip against Sunderland in the 1996/97 season.
And Pogba celebrated similarly today, pausing in front of the Stretford End turning his body, before being embraced by team mates.
Nemanja Matic had given Ole Gunner Solskjaer’s side the lead in the first half.
Pogba made it 3-0 in the 78th minute.

Huddersfield score a consolation late on through Mathias Jorgensen, preventing United from another clean sheet.
It was the Norwegian’s first home game in charge since returning to Old Trafford.
All-time leading goalscorer Wayne Rooney was also there to watch United earn all three points.
After Mourinho left the club, Pogba posted a controversial message on his social media, a picture of him smirking captioned: ‘Caption this.’

Gary Neville slammed the tweet saying “You do one as well.”
Neville then said of Pogba on Sky Sports after the fiasco: “I actually liked him when he was at the club as a player, as a kid - it’s not a personal thing.
“Paul Pogba, there is no doubt, has fallen out with the manager, he doesn’t believe in him, doesn’t like him, doesn’t think he’s a good coach probably and vice versa, Jose Mourinho doesn’t think Paul Pogba is as talented a player as he thinks he is.
“So there has been a complete breakdown in the last six months between the pair, probably 12 months. And there is no doubt there is a high level of dislike there.
“However, Jose Mourinho lost his job this morning and Paul Pogba and his people put that Instagram post out.
“Don’t fall for this 'coincidence, scheduled tweet' nonsense. It’s garbage, absolute garbage.”
