#2 Defending at set pieces
Despite having a lot of tall players, United have looked weak when it comes to defending from set pieces. Standing at 1.91 metres and blessed with a great physique, one would expect the French midfielder to dominate in such positions, be it defensively or offensively.
However, he has looked unsure in such positions and often loses his man. When Liverpool visited Old Trafford this season, the Frenchman looked all over the place while defending a corner which ended with him handling the ball and giving away a penalty.
Due to his large frame, he is often given the job of marking important players, which is why Mourinho would be hoping that Pogba improves in this area.
