4-1-4-1
Ex-Reds’ left full-back Patrice Evra enjoyed an attacking wing play partnership with Paul Pogba during their spell at Juventus together, combining on a number of occasions to construct effective moves which could be mirrored within the Manchester United squad if Jose Mourinho provides his newest signing with the freedom of a number 10 position.
Fielding a 4-1-4-1 formation would be a bold decision by the man in charge of the Old Trafford helm, however, it could be successful in overpowering teams – especially in home fixtures at the Theatre of Dreams.
Situating the highly-physical character of the former-Juve midfielder alongside Wayne Rooney or Morgan Schneiderlin in the centre of the field to combine with the pace and power of wingers Martial and Mkhitaryan would inevitably strike fear into the Reds’ opposition, working to United’s advantage in a high-pressing attacking side.
Whether Paul Pogba is deployed as a holding, box-to-box or central attacking midfielder, there is no doubting the fact that Manchester United have signed a world class talent with the prestige and potential to become one of the games’ top midfield players in the coming years – despite questions being asked surrounding his world record transfer fee of £89million after leaving the club in 2012 for just £800,000 to Juventus.
