Manchester United completed an incredible second-place finish in the Premier League after a miserable start to the season.
Their Europa League final defeat against Villarreal showed that they still need to strengthen their squad in the summer.
To ensure that the defence is not exposed, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer frequently deploys Fred and Scott McTominay in a double pivot.
However, this forces Paul Pogba to drift to the flanks or settle with a spot on the bench.
Solskjaer will utilise Pogba in a two-man midfield if the Red Devils can recruit a top-class holding midfielder.
This will allow him to accommodate another forward in the XI.
Eighteen-year-old winger Yeremy Pino has enjoyed a breakout campaign at Villarreal, and could become the youngest winner of the Europa League on Wednesday having previously rejected Barcelona
