What's Pogba's playing position? Solskjaer knows best
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is clear about where Paul Pogba plays best. He's proving it this season. United's next friendly against Kristiansund on Tuesday will most probably show it.
Paul Pogba has been characterized for his at times anarchic football, powerful in his finish, without a fixed position but with freedom to move around the midfield.
According to Solskjaer, the Frenchman shows his virtues best as a double pivot. Creator Pogba? United are combining a 4-3-3 with 4-2-3-1 this summer.
"You can play in a two-team line like you do with France, but you also have the freedom to choose when to attack and go forward," the Norwegian coach said days ago.
He said so after the match against Tottenham. His words can also be interpreted as a clue for Zinedine Zidane, who wants him in Madrid.
A Zidane who is a professed lover of the 4-3-3 positioning that has given him so many good results with Real Madrid, with his Casemiro-Modric-Kroos midfield. Would Pogba fit into the picture?
