What United are planning to do with Pogba

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that Paul Pogba could be seen in a new role at the club this season.

He said, ‘I thought they [Pogba and McTominay] played really well in the first-half,’ said Solskjaer after beating Spurs. ‘They haven’t done that before [the tour] as a two and today I thought they really looked like a good pair.

‘Of course we’ve got Fred and Nemanja [Matic] second-half, we have Andreas [Pereira], so it’s something we have to look at.

‘But we controlled the game better. Second-half we didn’t keep the ball well enough, so disappointed with the second-half, how we finished, really. But it’s been a great tour. And those two played well.

‘He [Pogba] can play in a two like he does for France but he has also got the freedom of picking his moments, when to go forward.

‘Same with Scott, maybe his best position is like a number eight running forward. But I thought the two played very disciplined tonight.’

Ole definitely seems to have a new structure and plan for Pogba in his mind but all this will only work if United can keep their star player at the club.
