Manchester United coaches Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna are working hard to convert midfielder Scott McTominay into a no.6.
The box-to-box midfielder is seen as someone who can fill in the role of holding midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation for the Red Devils.
United have started the season poorly, with their midfield and defensive fragility a significant issue.
According to The Athletic, United first team coaches Carrick and McKenna are working with McTominay to improve his positioning and passing from the midfield pivot spot.
The player also believes that he has the quality to excel in the position, especially as he plays in a back three for Scotland.
