Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has some decisions to make in the centre of his midfield.
Manchester United have Fred, Scott McTominay, Nemanja Matic, Andreas Pereira and Paul Pogba in the middle of the park, and in his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation, someone is likely to miss out on a regular basis. With the summer transfer window coming up, a potential new arrival would make that area even more congested.

It seems that the Red Devils have already made a decision in regards to one of those players, though. It has been confirmed that Nemanja Matic has agreed a contract extension at Old Trafford, as per the Norwegian boss himself.
This has got the club’s supporters reacting in their droves, and it appears that that they are divided on whether they want him to stay.
Some are happy to see the Serbia international to carry on with the 20-time English champions.
The former Chelsea man has missed much of the campaign due to injury, but featured in eight of United’s nine Premier League matches prior to this weekend, stepping up in the absence of Scott McTominay. Clearly, one of those fans would rather see him stay than Jesse Lingard and Phil Jones, two players who have received their fair share of criticism.
Others, though, are not happy with the update.
indeed, some supporters would rather him be allowed to move on. After all, he is now 32 – he is not exactly one for the future.
This news has not yet been officially confirmed by the club, so keep your eyes open!
Meanwhile, this 20-year-old would be a massive upgrade on Jesse Lingard.
