#2 Balance in midfield
Trending
United have not been efficient in their midfield under Mourinho and it has not been because of player's inabilities but because of the manager's insistence on playing them in a certain way. Pogba has played his best football in a midfield three but Mourinho prefers to play two midfielders in which one of them has to be the world's most expensive player.
The Frenchman can play in a midfield two also but needs the other partner to do the defensive work as Pogba lacks that in his game.
Marouane Fellaini has done well under Mourinho but the duo of Fellaini and Pogba does not work at all. Pogba needs someone like Michael Carrick beside him who can calm the proceedings in midfield and dictate the tempo of the game whereas Pogba can drift forward with his hustling runs and do what he can best.
United played three in midfield against Feyenoord as it looks the safest bet to bring out the best from Paul Pogba but Mourinho scrapped that after just one game.
