Paul Pogba has had a poor start to the season for Manchester United, after suffering from coronavirus at the beginning of the season. Last season he created a scintillation partnership with Bruno Fernandes towards the end of last season. The duo hasn’t flourished with each other this season though, but in his recent talk with BBC Radio Five Live Micah Richards believes that they can still play together.
Bruno Fernandes has had a great start to the season in the Premier League, unlike Paul Pogba. Both the players have played very little together this season but whenever they have played together, the balance of the team has been compromised. But Micah Richards believes that the duo can play together well and bring glory back at Manchester United.
In his talk, Richards said: “Fernandes has not always been playing that great. He played really well last season, he started off OK this season but he gets important goals and assists. At the moment Pogba does not get that. I would play them both in centre midfield. I would play just one sitter, McTominay or Fred, and Pogba and Fernandes in front.”
Fred and McTominay have done very well for the Red Devils this season as they add a balance to the team. On the other hand, Pogba has been very inconsistent and indisciplined on the pitch this season. For the Frenchman to have a good spell of games, he needs to play well and keep his attitude and hunger for the game alive.
