I'd still say they're more suited to a 3-4-3 or 433 type formation. Any formation where we have 3 actual attackers that are kinda left to be attackers, and the 7 players behind have a lot more defensive responsibility. A 4231 you need a balance with your wide players. Not attackers but actual wide players who are good at both ends. Greenwood, Rashford, Ronaldo are all wide forwards, very much front line players. Bruno has been a 2nd striker under Ole, another front line player. Sancho is a creative attacker, never been very good defensively but great in attack. Cavani a striker. Pogba needs more solidity behind him - he gets that even in a midfield 2 with a back 3/5 formation.
Yes you are probably correct.
A parallel which comes to mind watching United today is England under Southgate. Both teams require maybe 8 defensively minded players, which leaves an embarassment of riches to compete for the remaining places.
