It was Howe's move to switch Tonali to a number six and push Bruno into the eight role that changed the course of last season.

But Howe reversed that tactical tweak against Man City at the weekend during the 2-1 win.

When asked about whether he would be making the moves permanent, Howe said in Marseille: "I think they can both do everything. There are loads of different reasons why I switched their positions. On this occasion, I think it benefited both their performances. Every game is different, it's great to have options.
