Mourinho is a counter attack coach, with the primary attackers on his team being slow as crap. No wonder they suck.

as expected

wtf is Mourinho thinking
If you're gonna play Pogba in a 2 man midfield, it had better be a 4-4-2, where he gets lots of freedom going forward. He is a #8, not a #6. But Mourinho is making him limits as a coach very obvious - 1 style, 1 formation.

The best coaches in the world switch formations and build formations around your players.
Look at Allegri last year during Licht's heart issue- that Cuadrado/Barzagli 4-4-2/3-5-2 is the perfect example of that.

welp how should a midfield duo consisting of fellaini and pogba ever work - at least put in a "real" number 6 next to Pogba. Rooney, Fellaini and Pogba are all arguably best as attacking[minded] midfielders.

Just bite the bullet and change the system. 3-man midfield and 2-man attack. Use your 100m dude at his best position. Stubbornness is a bitch.

But modern football has this obsession with wingers lol

honestly, strip out the wide players, the team doesn't look so bad. 4-3-1-2
------Ibra--Rooney----
----------Mata----------
Pogba-Herrera--Fellaini
Average United Backline

Not sure, but my point was that regardless of the midfield he is playing in 2 man or 3 man, he must have attacking freedom. Mourinho play a dual #6 system, which is basically the one system that Pogba surely cannot play in,

its a solid team, if you put Carrick as the DM and Herrera on the right. probably Mkhitaryan over Mata too but not necessary

thats true obviously. Pogba can play a defensive role if he has to but hes wasted there and you can get cheaper players that will play that role better for sure. you have to give him both the freedom to go forward at will AND to keep the ball and try to create something with it instead of passing it around.
