Neither of them play Pogba's position in Mou's system (or, at least, I don't think Mata would)


I'm assuming he'll go 4231 or 433. If it's 4231, he'll have a committed defensive midfielder that will allow Pogba the freedom to get forward from the other pivot spot. Or if he plays 433 Pogba will probably just be the all-action, box-to-box guy. It's possible Mourinho would play him at the 10 at times, but I doubt it. I can't see anybody but Rooney occupying the CAM spot or the advanced position in the 4-3-3.

Right. I'm seeing Zlatan up front, Martial and Mkhitaryan on the wings, Rooney and Pogba in a double pivot, and Schneiderlin sitting behind in a DM role. (Schweinsteiger, Herrera and hopefully Blind will be CMs as well in that trio.)

That doesn't bode well for Mata, who doesn't really look like a winger in his system and would have defensive troubles in central midfield.
