At the beginning of the current season, the enormous price tag on Paul Pogba was a huge burden on him, this got him to under perform at the start of the season and even get booed by some United fans. But Jose Mourinho was able to see the flaws in time and managed to help the player improve considerably. Rio Ferdinand, a former United player who loves analyzing his old club, talked about the way in which the boss has used Pogba in his tactics.
Ferdinand told United's official website: "I do not think Jose knew his best team for a while but in the last few games you have seen him consistently starting the three midfielders of Herrera, Carrick and Pogba. I think you have seen a better balance in the midfield, so hopefully we can start motoring on now.
"That has been a problem in the past in terms of working out where the balance is and who the best partnerships and combinations are, and I think he may have found that in those three. It frees up Paul, who is a bit more of a maverick, and means he can roam a bit more."
