4-3-3

Although the formation may lead to a predicament with Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney, the newly-signed world class talent would arguably thrive in his preferred number eight position within a midfield trio – if Jose Mourinho is prepared to make a statement in his first league game as Manchester United manager.

Positioned ahead of one holding midfielder in Michael Carrick or Daley Blind, the 4-3-3 system would result in a strong defensive unit with Morgan Schneiderlin or Ander Herrera slotting in alongside Pogba in central midfield.

The move would allow the Frenchman to join the Reds’ attack frequently as a left-sided midfielder, due to deploying two covering midfield players, meaning the no.6 could express his array of passing ability and composure from range in front of goal.

With Henrihk Mykhitaryan and fellow national Anthony Martial drifting in from the wings at Old Trafford to provide assists for clinical lone-finisher Ibrahimovic, as well as goals of their own – United’s attacking prowess has the potential to become feared once again.
