Jose Mourinho is set to continue his experimentation with the Manchester United team.

The Red Devils face a critical Premier League game at home against Newcastle United on Saturday.

And Mourinho is reportedly set to play Nemanja Matic in central defense.

Metro claims that United will go with a 3-4-3 formation, with Matic alongside Chris Smalling and either Eric Bailly or Victor Lindelof.

The last two times United used a midfielder in central defence, they lost the games.

They tried it against Tottenham and lost 3-0. And then in the Premier League clash at West Ham where they lost 3-1.
