Central Midfield - Paul Pogba

The Norwegian generally positions Pogba on the left in a three-man midfield, but the Frenchman enjoys a lot more freedom during the game. Pogba has the license to roam and pop up wherever on the field he deems necessary and this trust from his new manager has worked brilliantly for him. His teammates have turned to him for inspiration on quite a few games in recent times and Pogba has not disappointed. He is the heart of Solskjaer's team, he provides the guile, that magic touch that keeps the team ticking.


Right-Forward - Jesse Lingard

Who would have thought that Jesse Lingard would turn up to be an important part of Solskjaer's plans? In truth, it is Lingard's desire and relentlessness on the field which has sealed his place in the team. The Englishman is never tired of running and pestering the opponents and he carries out the role given to him with great efficiency. So even though he might start as a right forward, he drifts inside and interchanges positions with his teammates. He has also been excellent in the False 9 role this season and has successfully kept a host of big names out of the team and should continue to do the same in the forthcoming games.
