Bruno Fernandes immediately showed Manchester United what they had signed, unlike his Red Devils teammate Paul Pogba.
That’s according to France’s World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf, who says his compatriot has not shown the world that he is a “technical leader” like Fernandes.
United signed Fernandes in the January window, and they have yet to experience defeat when the Portuguese has been on the field.
Pogba, who has been unpredictable since signing in 2016, has missed much of this season with an ankle injury, but Leboeuf is sure there is a quality player there.
He told ESPN FC: “There is frustration and it is understandable when you have seen [Pogba’s] performances. He started quite well, he showed that he could be a leader, but I think there is a lack of consistency in his game.

“Without a doubt he is a fantastic player, he showed it at Juventus and at the beginning when he joined Manchester United.”
“Since then there seem to be so many problems around him, in the club or in his teammates that, in fact, we don’t see the Pogba that we want to see with all the qualities it has.”
“Maybe he is a leader in the locker room, but it doesn’t show that he can be a technical leader as Bruno Fernandes immediately showed the crowd when he signed with Manchester United.”
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is excited about the prospect of Pogba playing with Fernandes again.

The Norwegian told Sky Sports: “Good players can always play together, so they definitely can, it’s a big yes.”
“I think it is exciting … we have an exciting team.”
“I have Scott [McTominay]Fred, Nemanja [Matic]. There are many games to come and I am sure we can find a good connection between them. We have been discussing that as a training team, of course, and we are looking forward to it.

“Of course Bruno came in, causing the impact he made, it was a boost for everyone, the club, the fans and the players. Getting Paul and Marcus Rashford back would be fantastic.”
“Paul has had a difficult season with injuries, and Marcus is also coming back. So for us, and also for them, this gives them an opportunity to start on par or even ahead of other players.”
