Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suggested he could drop Paul Pogba into a deeper midfield role to help Manchester United control matches better, after watching his side scrape a 2-1 win over Watford on Saturday.
United marked their first game since Solskjaer was named their new permanent manager with a narrow victory over the Hornets at Old Trafford, thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
Pogba has thrived more than most at Old Trafford since Solskjaer took over from Jose Mourinho in December, but the France star was largely anonymous in a game in that Watford largely dominated but were kept at bay by the impressive Chris Smalling and Phil Jones.
"Paul is important for us. We couldn't keep the ball today - 50-50 per cent possession at home, you're a bit disappointed with that. But Paul's been away, played two games for France, he's playing a bit deeper for them so that's maybe something we have to think about, to get him more in the game.
"Paul can do both, he can attack and defend. Today, we had two strikers who did it for us. I thought Rashy was fantastic - he gave us the energy the others lacked."
