Manchester United really want to win things this season and the £40million-plus signing of Nemanja Matic is a massive statement of intent, taking United's summer spend to over £141.75million and adding to already high expectations.

Jose Mourinho knows how to get the very best out of Matic, having won the Premier League with him in the 2014/15 season and he now has an abundance of options in midfield, but with several big names all vying for two central midfield slots, just where does Matic fit it in?

Getting the most out of Paul Pogba

During his most successful years at Juventus, Paul Pogba was always part of a three man midfield, with two cautious, sensible midfielders - usually two of Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio and Sami Khedira - alongside him, providing a stable platform from which Pogba was allowed to go roaming in search of goals, and other goal-related fun.

In a two, it is a lot more difficult to afford such freedom to an attack-minded player like Pogba, and he got a hard time by many for perceived under-performances last season, something which seemed inevitable for such a hugely expensive player, even at the time. In reality, Pogba was excellent; (re)adjusting to Premier League football has proven difficult for many an international superstar and Pogba did so within a team that wasn't quite sure of itself.
