If you want more possession I’d recommend having one of your central midfielders as a playmaker of some kind. The roles you have selected, while not bad, don’t lend themselves to a possession orientated style of play.
McTominay’s position might be a good shout to have as a DLP with a defend duty as he will receive the ball from the ball playing defender and then dictate the play from the midfield laying on passes to your advancing midfielders and wingers.
Although I’m not sure of McTominay’s attributes to fulfil this role so Pogba might be a good option for the actual role.
