Jose Mourinho has hinted at playing Paul Pogba in his best position

Jose Mourinho has hinted at playing Paul Pogba in his best position. Or at least that he was going to.

Pogba missed Manchester United's 2-0 FA Cup win over Huddersfield Town on Saturday with illness, and Scott McTominay took his place in the side. Interestingly, United played a 4-3-3 formation on the day, rather than the 4-2-3-1 formation they have used for most games this season. There have been reports in recent weeks that Pogba isn't happy playing in a two-man midfield, and he has noticeably struggled in this position in United's last two Premier League away games - a 2-0 loss to Tottenham, and a 1-0 loss to Newcastle. However, Mourinho has seemed reluctant to use a 4-3-3 formation, and play Pogba in his preferred position, on the left side of midfield with two more defensively minded players alongside him. The United manager has only used a 4-3-3 on six occasions this season. Yet, it looks like Jose may be planning to use Pogba in his preferred position in a 4-3-3 formation. "Paul was going to play on the left side, as a number eight, in a 4-3-3," he told reporters following Saturday's match. https://twitter.com/blurt2kc/status/965480883011559424 It'll be interesting to see if Mourinho uses Pogba in this position against Sevilla on Wednesday, or Chelsea on Sunday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEvOqBjII8E
