3 ways Manchester United could line up under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

4-2-3-1

Alternatively, Solskjaer could also set up Manchester United in another modification of the 4-3-3, a 4-2-3-1, with Pogba in the No. 10 role. This would result in a few more tweaks to the line up to make the team quite interesting.

Ashley Young could come in at right back, because of the added security in the midfield, but other than that, the defence remains the same. In the middle, Matic brings the no-nonsense steel that the team might require against tougher opponents, which Andreas Pereira works as a deep-lying playmaker, who also shares the defensive responsibilities with Matic.

Upfront, Mata makes way for Pogba to work in tandem with Martial and Rashford, with Lukaku the target man. The main advantage of this formation is that it allows Pogba to be in a free role and affect the game from higher up on the pitch. He can put his intricate skills, his passing abilities and his finishing to good use. The use of Rashford in the right does have a few concerns, but Solskjaer could also use one of Mata, Lingard or Sanchez (when fit) in the youngster's place.
