Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has suggested he could go with a two-man central midfield for the Premier League opener against Chelsea.
Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba were excellent in midfield for the second game running in Thursday's 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Pogba has usually been deployed in a midfield three, but Solskjaer could make a change for the upcoming season.
"I thought they played really well in the first-half," Solskjaer said. "They haven't done that before [the tour] as a two and today I thought they really looked really like a good pair.
"Of course we've got Fred and Nemanja [Matic] second-half, we have Andreas [Pereira], so it's something we have to look at.
"But we controlled the game better. Second-half we didn't keep the ball well enough, so disappointed with the second-half, how we finished, really. But it's been a great tour. And those two played well."
When asked specifically about Pogba playing in a deeper role, Solskjaer replied: "He can play in a two like he does for France but he has also got the freedom of picking his moments, when to go forward.
"Same with Scott, maybe his best position is like a number eight running forward.
"But I thought the two played very disciplined tonight."
