Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suggests that Paul Pogba could be ready for the new role of Man Utd

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted that the talisman Paul Pogba could play a new role in the midfield after an impressive pre-season.

There has been a lot of speculation about the midfielders' strong commitment to the club, with rumors of the possibility of him leaving the club this summer.

Up to now, United has won all four of their pre-season games, and Norwegian boss Solskjaer is pleased with his options in the middle and thinks Pogba can play two and is versatile enough to play three. as he had done last season.

"I thought that they [Pogba and McTominay] played very well in the first half, "said Solskjaer after defeating the Spurs.

"They did not do it before [the tour] as two and today, I thought that they really looked like a good pair.

"Of course we have Fred and Nemanja [ Matic ] in the second half we have Andreas [Pereira]So that's something we need to look at.

"But we had better control of the game." In the second half, we did not keep the ball well enough, we were disappointed with the way we finished, but it was an excellent lap. have played well.

"He [Pogba] can play two as he does for France, but he also has the freedom to choose his moments, when to go from the front.

"Same thing for Scott, maybe his best position is like a number eight coming in. But I thought both of them were playing very disciplined tonight."

The pre-season is far from over for the Red Devils with two friendlies playing against Kristiansund in Norway on Tuesday before heading to Cardiff to face AC Milan at Principality Stadium next Saturday.

"I think we are improving," said Solskjaer.

"We are improving and the pre-season is not about results, it's about finding a way to play, to find a style that suits the players.

"And we have made great progress towards the team we want to be."

Manchester United made two dedications this summer with the arrival of Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who also impressed during the pre-season tour.
