If the season was to start today, Solskjaer would use this giant of a midfield in the wake of Ander Herrera leaving for France. Despite speculation over his future, Pogba has shown great professionalism by reporting for pre-season duty. He and David de Gea remain the two most irresistible talents in the side.

Nemanja Matic is an experienced midfielder who can provide cover for the back four. Due to his advancing age, his contribution to the attack may be limited to set pieces and long forward balls.

Scott McTominay has come of age in the United shirt. Solskjaer's vision is to build a team around youthful players who can serve the club for years to come. And the Scot's rise to the first team has been a significant step in that direction.

McTominay put in a decent shift against Barcelona when they lost 1-0 last season. This season will be crucial in his development given that starting slots are up for grabs due to the departures and Solskjaer's policy of giving all players a chance to prove themselves.
