Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may look to deploy Paul Pogba in a different role in order to get the best out of the World Cup winning midfielder.

Solskjaer’s reign as permanent Manchester United manager got off to a winning start with a 2-1 win over Watford at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Marcus Rashford opened the scoring midway through the first half with his 10th league goal of the season before Anthony Martial doubled his side’s lead with a close range effort with just under 20 minutes to play.
